Milwaukee Pride Parade; rain did not dampen spirit of thousands

Pride Fest came to Milwaukee this weekend – and on Sunday, June 8, there was a Pride parade held through Walker's Point, a neighborhood on the city's south side.

A little rain did not deter thousands from coming out to see it all in person.

What we know:

Many members of the FOX6 News team walked in Sunday's parade. 

Our new news vehicle was featured in the parade as well. 

Along the route, FOX6 News caught up with Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. 

What they're saying:

"This is the celebration, but it can also educate. And I would also say, with all the uncertainty at the federal level, this is a great way to show pride, but also show there are allies that are willing to support this community," Crowley said.
