Pride, Juneteenth, and the spirit of summer in Wisconsin

June in Wisconsin is delicious. The days are long, the lakefronts are full, the food is fire, and the energy in the streets feels alive with possibility. But this season isn’t just about sunshine and summer festivals—it’s about deep, layered truths. It’s Pride. It’s Juneteenth. It’s Father’s Day! It’s the reminder that freedom is something we fight for and celebrate.
