MILWAUKEE — As the nation celebrates Pride Month, Milwaukee's iconic Brady Street joined in the festivities with the first-ever Brady Street Pride Fest on Sunday.
The vibrant street, known for its diverse local businesses and community spirit, transformed into a colorful display of support for the city's LGBTQ+ community.
"I think it's a beautiful area, I think the stages are set up great," said attendee Samuel Robert Phillips. "It seems like every business is on board."
The festival attracted people from all over, including Iowa native Aly Jumper, who was visiting a friend in Milwaukee.
"We were here for Summerfest, and we saw that on the signs that there was a pride event," Jumper said, "So we were excited to be able to come out."
"I'm a part of the LGBTQ community and a lot of my friends are as well," Jumper added."We just think it's really important to support and be able to experience this."
The event was also an opportunity for LGBTQ+ community allies, like Phillips, to show their support.
