Pat Benatar, Thelma Houston, Kinsey Sicks, Pulsation, Irene Soderberg, and dozens of other local and national folks entertained the
crowds at Milwaukee's annual PrideFest. Many Chicagoans headed north again this year to enjoy the festival grounds, parade,
entertainment, and socializing.
The city stretches its arm around the weekend-long fest, with sponsorship as well as rainbow flags treated the same as flags for
other festivals—displayed around town throughout the summer.
