Welcome to the 56th Annual Twin Cities Pride Festival
In a time when our rights, identities, and communities are under increasing attack, gathering together in joy, visibility, and solidarity is more than just a celebration, it’s an act of resistance. The world may feel heavy right now, but Pride is a reminder that we are still here. We are still fighting. And we are stronger together.
This Pride Guide is your resource to navigate the festival and make the most of your experience—from stage schedules and community spaces to accessibility info and quiet moments of reflection. Whether you’re here to march, dance, heal, or simply be seen, know this: your presence matters. Your story matters. And Pride is for you.
Let’s honor our history, uplift each other, and move forward with fierce love and unstoppable pride.
Vendors: We have over 600 unique vendors to explore. This year at Pride, we created stickers to identify vendors who are BIPOC, BIPOC LGBTQIA2S+, or LGBTQIA2S+ owned or operated, so attendees can be informed about who they are making purchases from and getting information from, celebrating and supporting our diverse community. Keep an eye out for these identifiers on booth numbers throughout the park.
