Laborfest 2026 takes place on Labor Day at the Henry W. Maier Festival Grounds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The annual event, hosted by the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, is free and open to the public thanks to support from local unions and union members.
A parade kicks off from Zeidler Union Square at 301 W. Michigan St., featuring union members in trucks, on motorcycles, and marching with their locals through downtown Milwaukee. The festival follows at the Summerfest grounds, 200 N. Harbor Dr.
The festival includes a classic car show, live musical entertainment on the MillerCoors stage, adult bingo, and wrestling. Children’s activities include a raffle, splash pad, fountain, and a renovated playground. Food and beverages will be available on the grounds.
