Milwaukee Brewers fans celebrated their franchise's first World Series championship with a raucous parade on Friday, Oct 30, 2026, after the team's long-awaited victory the night before. The newly crowned champs returned to Wisconsin in style, with thousands of fans lining the streets of Cream City to revel in the historic moment.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers declared Friday as "Won Our Way" Day, jokingly suggesting citizens could use his proclamation as an excuse to skip work. "Look, I'm not saying I can give you the day off tomorrow," Evers' account posted on X. "I don't think it's in my executive powers as governor to do that, but I am saying you can show this to your boss and see what happens. It's worth a shot."
In celebration, Milwaukee Public Schools closed Friday as the city came together for the festivities. Highlights included Bernie Brewer energizing the crowd, Jacob Misiorowski taking the mic, and chants of "MVP" for William Contreras. Bob Uecker's mural watched over the Parade of Champions, while Sal Frelick lived the Wisconsin dream after a whirlwind week featuring the World Series win and a Lambeau Leap.
The streets of Milwaukee were packed from street level to high rises, with even kayaks spotted on the river. The Brewers squad was fired up as they rolled through the city in a parade to remember.
