The MKE Pride Market is more than just a vendor fair—it’s a family-friendly, community-powered celebration of LGBTQIA+ joy, resilience, and creative expression. What started as a single pop-up is now growing into a year-round movement for visibility, empowerment, and local pride.
In 2025 (repeating ever year there after), we’re launching two signature events:
June 1st – “Show Your Pride MKE” Kickoff Market to open Pride Month with music, performances, family fun, and queer vendors.
October 11th – “MKE Is Coming Out” Fall Market in honor of National Coming Out Day, with a youth-centered focus.
We will also be launching the first-ever MKE Pride Walk fundraiser—culminating soon from our fall market—where 90-100% of proceeds will go toward LGBTQIA+ youth support (with the recipient organization chosen by community vote). Throughout the year, we’ll be uplifting queer entrepreneurs, local artists, and heart-led performers through accessible, celebratory spaces.
