Though the Republican National Convention wrapped up a month ago, Milwaukee is far from losing its place in the national spotlight.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, will take a short trip north to hold a rally in Milwaukee Tuesday — right as the Democratic National Convention is in full swing in Chicago.

The rally will mark Harris's third trip to Wisconsin in her barely month-old campaign. She held the first rally of her presidential campaign in West Allis and stopped in Eau Claire earlier this month with her newly selected running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Walz will join Harris in Milwaukee on Tuesday. Ohio Sen. JD Vance, former president Donald Trump's running mate, won't be far behind: the Republican vice presidential nominee is scheduled to hold a press conference in Kenosha on the same day.

Here's everything we know about Harris's rally in Milwaukee so far.

Vice President Kamala Harris greets a cheering crowd at a campaign stop Wednesday, August 7, 2024 at the Eau Claire Event District in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Where is the Kamala Harris rally in Milwaukee?

Harris and Walz will be speaking from Fiserv Forum on Tuesday, according to sources with knowledge of the planning. The stage will be the very same one where Donald Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination just over a month ago.

Fiserv Forum is in the heart of downtown Milwaukee at 1111 N Vel R. Phillips Ave.

What time in Kamala Harris speaking in Milwaukee?

The campaign has not released an official time for Harris's and Walz's speeches, but doors to the rally open at 4 p.m., and the event is scheduled to wrap up by 9 p.m., according to the official event page.

Preparations continue one day ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on August 18, 2024. US Vice President Kamala Harris will formally accept the party's nomination for president at the DNC which runs from August 19-22 in Chicago.

What will be happening at the DNC while Harris is in Milwaukee?

Each day of the convention includes a full schedule of events for delegates, but the main programming of the DNC takes place from 6 to 10 p.m. each night of the convention. During the day, official convention business will presumably continue as usual while Harris and Walz are in Milwaukee.

It's unclear whether the DNC will schedule speakers for the same time as the rally, but we do know former president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama will be taking the stage in Chicago right after Harris and Walz finish speaking in Milwaukee. The Obamas' remark will be streamed inside Fiserv Forum to rally attendees, according to the official event page.

Is the Kamala Harris rally in Milwaukee open to the public?

The rally is open to the public, but you'll need to tickets to attend.

For a chance to get tickets, you can register for the event online through the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Registration does not guarantee a ticket, and people selected for tickets will be notified via email 12 to 24 hours before the event.
