Overview
- The Brewers held a Parade of Champions through downtown Milwaukee on Friday, ending with a rally at Henry Maier Festival Park and bringing the Commissioner's Trophy back to fans.
- Milwaukee police later estimated turnout exceeded 750,000 people while city officials had expected about 400,000, and preliminary research said it could be the largest single-day gathering in Wisconsin history.
- Players rode open-top buses, sprayed champagne, took photos with fans, chugged beers on the route and earlier that night visited Lambeau Field where Brandon Woodruff carried the trophy onto the field.
- The parade included Hall of Famers and franchise alumni, public tributes to longtime broadcaster Bob Uecker and visible participation from owners, staff and local cultural icons.
- The celebration capped the Brewers’ 4-1 World Series clincher over the Tampa Bay Rays and prompted local actions such as Milwaukee Public Schools closing for the day while boosting civic pride and downtown commerce.
