MILWAUKEE — Pridefest Milwaukee 2020 has been postponed because of COVID-19 concerns.
The festival was slated for June 4 to 7 at Henry W. Maier Festival Park.
“Pridefest is, and has been a safe space for people to celebrate community and the Pride movement since 1987. Due to the current status of COVID-19, the health, safety and protection of our festival patrons is our first priority,” said Wes Shaver, Milwaukee Pride, Inc. President in a press release. “We certainly don’t want to cancel, absolutely not. But, moving forward as planned brings too many risks to the forefront; for our attendees and for our organization.”
This is the first time the festival has been postponed in its history.
A future date has not be announced.
