- **Event Name**: 140th Anniversary Commemoration of the Bay View Massacre
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 03 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join the Wisconsin Labor History Society in commemorating the Bay View Massacre of 1886.  This event will take place in person.

In addition to the traditional commemorative event at 3:00 PM, the labor community and general public are invited to march the same path as the marchers in 1886.  We'll meet at 2:00 PM at Lincoln Avenue and Bay Street and leave shortly thereafter.  The march will conclude at the historical marker on E. Russell Avenue and S. Superior Street.  The commemoration program will begin at 3:00 PM.  The program will include a dramatic reenactment, music, wreath-laying, and reading the names of the workers who lost their lives.

On the Fifth of May, 1886, thousands of Milwaukee workers marched peacefully on the huge Bay View Rolling Mills as part of a nationwide effort to win the 8-hour day. When the marchers were 200 yards away, the State Militia fired, killing seven. This was the bloodiest labor disturbance in Wisconsin's history, and began a new struggle for a more humane workplace and a more just society. Join us now, 139 years later, as a diverse group of Milwaukeeans commemorates the story of this historic event.

After the commemoration, please join us at a location soon to be determined for music and fellowship.
