Twin Cities Pride is one of the largest and oldest in the country, and this is the weekend. Here is what is happening, where to be, and where to keep the celebration going after the park empties out. Happy Pride.
The largest free Pride festival in the country. Four stages, 650+ vendors, food, and the whole community out in the park. No ticket, just show up.
More than 200,000 people line Hennepin for this one. Stake out a spot early, especially anywhere near Loring Park where the route ends and the festival picks up.
Ages 10 to 20, a safe kickoff to the weekend before the main festival opens Saturday morning.
Also this weekend: People's Pride, a community-led celebration in Powderhorn Park in south Minneapolis. Check current times before you head over.
