MILWAUKEE (March 12, 2026) – The Milwaukee Bucks will celebrate their annual Pride Game, presented by the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network, on Sunday, March 15, when they host the Indiana Pacers at 2:30 p.m. at Fiserv Forum.

An exclusive Pride T-shirt will be available in the Bucks Pro Shop at Fiserv Forum and online at www.shop.bucks.com. A portion of the shirt’s proceeds will benefit the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center, a nonprofit that aims to nurture an inclusive, diverse, healthy and safe LGBTQ+ community by providing food, clothing, hygiene and mental health resources.

Celebrations tip off pregame with a DJ set from DJ Mel Down, a longtime resident DJ at two local LGBTQ+ bars who was also a featured performer at Milwaukee Pride Fest. Shawn Holmes, a Milwaukee-based actor and singer, will sing the national anthem and Bucks DJ Shawna will soundtrack a halftime performance featuring aerial silks, rope and a German wheel.

During the game, the Bucks will highlight a recent Milwaukee LGBT Community Center Queer Crafternoon, when members of the Bucks Pride employee resource group and representatives from Froedtert & MCW teamed up for an afternoon of crafting to support the program. Fans at the game can join a special Queer Crafternoon at Section 201, where Milwaukee LGBT Community Center will be set up with crafts including keychains, bracelets and hair tinsel.

Representatives from Free Mom Hugs, a national nonprofit organization that works to empower the world to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, will be set up throughout the concourse to share words of encouragement and hugs with fans. Additional DJs from the LGBTQ+ community, including DJ Femme Noir, DJ Avalon, DJ Travvy Trav and DJ ShayKenn, will entertain fans on the concourse.

Limited single game tickets are still available for Sunday’s game at www.bucks.com/single. A special group ticket package that includes a Bucks Pride flag for the first 150 fans to purchase the offer is available HERE.
