MKE LGBT Community Center

Play YOUR music at Pride

We need your help to fill the This Is It jukebox for The Loft Lounge at PrideFest. If your mix CD gets played the most during Pride, it will end up in the real jukebox in the bar!
The Loft Lounge @ Pride

The Center is bringing a whole new dimension of fun to PrideFest. We are transforming the upper level of the Harley Davidson pavilion into a lounge for everyone. Looking for loud music and a pulsing bass line? This isn't the spot for you. We're committed to keeping it chill at The Loft Lounge. We've even partnered with This Is It to bring their classic jukebox to the Loft for entertainment.
The Center helps PrideFest expand!

The MKE LGBT Community Center is working with PrideFest to help open up a brand new area of the PrideFest grounds! For 2013 PrideFest (June 7,8, and 9) The Center is taking residence in the snazzy Harley Davidson VIP building, immediately South of the marketplace shopping area.
Volunteer @ Pride

We need your help to make the Center's presence at PrideFest a success! Volunteering for the Community Center at PrideFest is a great way to help give back to the community, plus you'll get a free t-shirt and free entry to PrideFest on the day you volunteer!
