Laborfest

Labor Day is a chance to remember those who made sacrifices for benefits many take for granted: weekends, worker protections, vacation, overtime pay, and the list goes on. It's also a time to celebrate the power in standing together and the things we can achieve in the future. Because we know, America works best when we say Union YES!

Laborfest 2024
Monday, September 2nd
11am: Parade leaves Zeidler Union Square
11am-5pm: Laborfest on the Henry Maier Festival Grounds
200 N. Harbor Dr. Milwaukee

Every year, labor unions and union members of the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, AFL-CIO, put on the biggest festival on the Milwaukee Lakefront that's free and open to the public. Through the generosity of local unions and the companies at which they work, we can bring you a day of fun at the lakefront that includes live music for adults and families, children's entertainment, bingo, wrestling, a classic car show, and union raffle with a Grand Prize of $5,000.

But before you head to the lakefront, be sure to visit the parade route to see the union members in their trucks, on their Harleys, and marching with their locals in downtown Milwaukee. The parade ends at the Henry Maier Festival Grounds where Laborfest takes place.
