Laborfest 2026

Our Solidarity is our Strength.

Join us for Labor Day 2026, an all ages event at the Henry W. Maier Festival Grounds on Monday, September 7th, 2026.

Together we will continue to stand up, fight back, and grow the power of the labor movement. Now more than ever, we need every union member to march shoulder to shoulder through the streets of downtown Milwaukee to celebrate the contributions of unions and highlight the solidarity of union members.

Thanks to the generosity of our local unions and union members, Laborfest is free and open to the public! We will feature special children’s activities on the Summerfest grounds, a raffle for children, the splash pad and fountain, the wonderful renovated playground, and more. For adults there will be an array of food and beverages, adult bingo, wrestling, a classic car show, and live musical entertainment on the MillerCoors stage.

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.

Laborfest parade will kick off from Zeidler Union Square on 4th and Michigan at 11:00 am.

Please call the Milwaukee Area Labor Council with any questions at 414-771-7070 or email malc@milwaukeelabor.org.
