Gov. Tony Evers, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett will also attend the event.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Barrett said the parade will be a day of celebration for Milwaukee. “Anybody who watched that game last night, and watched those tens of thousands of people on that plaza, came away with an incredibly positive view of the city of Milwaukee and it’s deserved," he said.
Barrett anticipates more than a 100,000 people will show up to show their support for the Bucks. Via Twitter, he said, "Please don't camp or reserve spaces overnight."
