From the organizer
On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center will officially celebrate the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of our new home at 161 South 1st Street. This milestone represents more than a relocation. It reflects who we are today — Resilient. Recalibrated. Rising. Join us from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM as we welcome community members, partners, and distinguished leaders from across state, county, and city government to mark this historic moment. Together, we are building health, safety, and belonging for LGBTQ+ people across Southeastern Wisconsin — with sustainability and long-term strength at the center of our future. We hope to see you there.
