Milwaukee, WI -
PrideFest Milwaukee reopens Saturday at noon, celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of the nation's largest and longest-running LGBT pride events.
The annual pride celebration on Milwaukee's Summerfest grounds opened Friday afternoon to beautiful sunny skies and a high temperature of 87 degrees.
After declaring PrideFest 2012 officially open, the party continued into the evening with a headline performance by Belinda Carlisle on the Miller Lite Main Stage.
The festival continues Saturday with headliner Taylor Dayne, known for her top 10 hit "Tell It to My Heart." This is Dayne's second appearance in PrideFest's history.
Closing the festival Sunday will be Berlin (featuring Terri Nunn) with God-Des & She. On Sunday evening, "RuPaul Drag Race" winner Sharon Needles will perform at the PumpWorks Dance Pavilion.
