Labor Day Celebration Planned in Milwaukee

On Labor Day 2024, Milwaukee will host Laborfest, highlighting the benefits of union membership such as higher wages and safer workplaces. The event is free to the public and includes activities for families, food, and live entertainment, with a parade featuring union members kicking off from Zeidler Union Square. Additionally, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will visit Milwaukee on the same day, following his recent campaign rally in the city. Walz's attendance is part of his campaign efforts as the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, and he is also expected to make an appearance at the Minnesota State Fair. Security measures for Walz's visits are being discussed, as managing large crowds while ensuring safety is a challenge. Details surrounding Walz's itinerary remain under wraps as both events approach.
