Main Story: Milwaukee turned out in force to celebrate the Brewers’ first World Series title, with police estimating more than 750,000 people attended the downtown parade and rally. Players, former Brewers and team mascots joined the celebration, which ended at Henry Maier Festival Park.

By the Numbers
  • More than 750,000 people attended, according to the Milwaukee Police Department.
  • Milwaukee’s population was about 580,000 in the most recent census.
  • The 2024 Dodgers parade drew an estimated 200,000 fans.
Yes, But

The parade turnout exceeded the city’s population, but that comparison doesn’t account for Milwaukee-area residents who live outside city limits.

State of Play
  • Milwaukee Public Schools closed all schools and district offices because of parade-related operations and safety impacts.
  • The team’s championship celebrations followed the Brewers’ title-clinching win Wednesday night.
Bottom Line

The Brewers’ first championship brought a city-sized celebration—and a turnout that underscored how widely the team’s victory resonated across the region.
