Milwaukee, WI — PrideFest Milwaukee opens Friday, June 7 at 3 p.m. for what has been dubbed the nation’s largest showcase of LGBT talent.

The three-day weekend headliners include Bruce Vilanch and Chad Michaels on Friday, June 6; Chicago-area native Steve Grand, Mary Lambert, Big Freedia, and Macy Gray on Saturday, June 7; and Lisa Lampanelli and Sandra Bernhard on Sunday, June 8.

They will be joined by nearly 100 national, regional and local performers on eight stages throughout the Summerfest grounds. Chicago‘s Scarlet Bar takes over the popular dance pavilion on Friday, June 7 at 6 p.m.

“We truly believe PrideFest Milwaukee offers something for every visitor,” said Kate Sherry, festival co-producer. “This year, we’re thrilled to host a dynamic mix of musical, comedy, and drag performances that reflects the diversity of LGBT culture and community. We’re honored to have access to such stunning talent — and our showcase continues to grow every day.”

Single-day admission prices will be $13 in advance, $16 at the gate. Single-day VIP passes, which includes access to the exclusive VIP Deck, will be $100 in advance, or $225 for the three-day weekend. Organizers noted ticket prices remained the same as last year.

Festival goers will have the option of adding $1 to their ticket purchases to support the American Civil Liberties Union in their critical battle for marriage equality in Wisconsin.

PrideFest Milwaukee is June 6, 7 and 8 on the Henry Maier Festival (Summerfest) Grounds. For more information, tickets or to volunteer, visit pridefest.com.
