The Children's & Family Stage consists of Wisconsin Rainbow Families - families and friends. Wisconsin Rainbow Families (WRF) is a volunteer organization and community space dedicated to supporting LGBT Families and friends located throughout the State of Wisconsin.

Our stage is a place for families to come and have fun. We have many different types of acts and activities for children of all ages. WRF is also going to have Facepainting, Activities, Inflatables and the Train for Children to enjoy themselves. We like to take this time to plan future activities for the year as well as catch up with families new and returning to Pridefest.

Please visit the WRF website and follow us on Facebook.

PrideFest was Pat’s favorite time of year.  He sported his PrideFest gear year-round and was never afraid to  show his true colors.  Pat loved celebrating each year with everyone – and we know he’s still celebrating with us and will be in our hearts forever!

 Remember to have fun, be proud and just be YOU! We wish you all a very happy Pride!

3:30pm - The Figureheads

http://www.figureheadsinc.org

The Figureheads is an award-winning musical act turned non-profit organization using original positive hip-hop music to engage youth and educators, from pre-kindergarten through high-school, in order to develop critical thinking and collaborative skills that result in a greater desire to learn and relate. These outcomes can be described in two words: Inclusion, or the ability to collaborate with those different from you in age, ability, gender and race, and Literacy, the development of creative thinking towards oneself and society at large, resulting in greater interest in reading, writing and the pursuit of knowledge.

5:00pm - Women's Voices of Milwaukee

"Callin' Out Around World" is just one of the numbers Women's Voices Milwaukee will be performing at PrideFest 2010. Mix that with a little something from Bob Dylan, Sarah McLachlan and Aretha Franklin and we guarantee you'll want to take in both WVM shows! Women's Voices Milwaukee has a brand new beat with some new voices, a new director and a new accompanist. Moms, aunts and sisters will be singing under the direction of Lori Gilland, accompanied by Stacy Ellens. Come hear a wholesome repertoire of fun harmonies and moving lyrics. Audience participation and children, ages 1 to 101, are welcome!

3:00pm: Magic of Brian Holt

Brian's reputation for "Upbeat Magic" is unprecendented. This can be seen in his stage show. In this show Brian will be performing many effects that top professionals perform in Las Vegas and on Cruise Ships. You will not only see Brian on stage performing his incrediable magic, he will also make your audience part of the show. Your audience will be amazed as borrowed objects appear in unusual and impossible locations, minds are read, and objects levitate. This is not just another magic show this is a show that uses comedy and will get the audience involved.
