Be a PrideFest 2024 Marketplace or Food Vendor

Are you a business owner who wants to connect with LGBTQ customers?

Want to get your products and services in front of 42,000 + festival guests?

Guests enjoy a wide array of marketplace vendors at PrideFest, set against Lake Michigan and downtown backdrops, creating a shopping experience like no other.

Are you a food vendor looking to introduce your product to our crowd? Are you flexible with developing your menu options?

We’ve grown our festival attendance to Over 42,000 people in 2023 for one amazing weekend of music, dance, friends, and fun. That’s a lot of hungry people — and we need the right menu mix to meet everyone’s appetites! After two years without a June festival due to Covid-19, we are ready to once again kick off Milwaukee’s festival season!

Permanent food buildings can be found in the Miller Lite area, as well as in the Ethnic Foods Garden, just north of the main gate, across from the Dance Pavilion. Seating is available on picnic tables in each area. There are also spaces for several food trucks or stands throughout the grounds as well.

PrideFest had a 32% increase in attendance and vendors had more patron opportunities than ever before.
