Milwaukee Public Schools will be closed on Friday as the city prepares for a championship parade celebrating the Milwaukee Brewers' first World Series title since 1982.
The Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Catcher William Contreras was named the series MVP.
City officials announced the school closure to allow students and families to attend the victory parade, which is scheduled for Friday. The parade route and exact start time were not immediately released.
The victory marks the franchise's first World Series championship in 44 years, ending a long title drought for the city.
