Join the Proud Crowd!

PrideFest is all-volunteer organization that seeks to raise the visibility of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, while also providing an opportunity for the community to gather, socialize and renew itself. We need your support to continue this important mission.

The Proud Crowd provides an opportunity for individuals and businesses to make a personal investment in the success of PrideFest. Proud Crowd members provide critical financial support for the ongoing production costs of the festival. For over ten years, the Proud Crowd has kept PrideFest's rainbow flags flying over the festival grounds. The flags have added both color and symbolism to the City of Festivals by acknowledging Wisconsin's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered citizens. Having our flags fly next to the city's other festival flags is a loud, visible proclamation stating:

"WE ARE HERE!"

This tradition and the continued development of PrideFest are made possible through the generosity of people like you who donate to the Proud Crowd, PrideFest's major pre-festival fundraising campaign. Join the crowd today!

*You may opt out of Proud Crowd public acknowledgement and remain anonymous by sending your request to proudcrowd@pridefest.com after purchasing your membership. To receive Proud Crowd acknowledgement in the Pride Guide, membership must be purchased by Friday, April 25, 2008.

Instructions For Accessing the VIP Oasis

Your Proud Crowd ticket will give you one access each day to the grounds (Daily VIP will receive one access for the specific day purchased).

  1. After you have entered the grounds, you can check in by name at the VIP Oasis. The reservation will be listed under the name of the person who purchased the Proud Crowd membership.
  2. If more than one membership is purchased by a single person, that person will need to check in at the Oasis to provide the names of the people who will utilize the additional Proud Crowd memberships.
  3. Enjoy the VIP Oasis!

P.S. If you leave the grounds but want to return the same day, be sure to have your hand stamped so that you can come back without purchasing another ticket.

Please note that PrideFest operates as a 501c(4) organization. As a result, contributions are not presently tax-deductible.
