Labor Fest 2025
2025-09-01 11:00 - 17:00 | Henry Maier Festival Park, 200 N Harbor Dr,, Milwaukee, WI, 53202
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!
Every year, labor unions and union members of the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, AFL-CIO, put on one of the biggest Labor Day celebrations in the country 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.

Home Sweet Home
2025-09-11 18:00 - 21:30 | Davidson Park, 3725 W Juneau Ave, Milwaukee, WI, 53208, United States
We invite you to stand with us in celebration of a city we love, a mission we share, and a future we are building together.
Milwaukee is more than streets and buildings. It’s families, stories, and dreams. It’s a city with heart, resilience, and the power to rise—especially when we rise together. This celebration isn’t just about what’s been done—it’s about who we’ve become by doing it together.
We’ve seen firsthand how critical home repairs restore more than walls and roofs—they restore dignity, health, and peace of mind. Through lead abatement efforts, we’ve given children a safer start. By tackling severe asthma-causing issues like mold and ventilation, we’ve helped families breathe easier—literally and figuratively. And through our workforce development programs, we’re not just repairing homes—we’re building futures.
None of this happens in isolation. It takes partnership. It takes trust. It takes you.
Let’s gather to honor the lives changed, the neighborhoods strengthened, and the community we’re shaping. Let’s celebrate the possibility of a Milwaukee where every home is safe, every child is healthy, and every person has a chance to thrive.
We’d be honored to have you join us.

Home Sweet Home
2025-09-11 18:30 - 21:30 | Davidson Park, 3725 W Juneau Ave, Milwaukee, WI, 53208, United States
