When is Minneapolis Pride?
Twin Cities Pride is the metro's flagship LGBTQ+ celebration, held on the last full weekend of June at Loring Park in Minneapolis. In 2027, expected to be June 26-27.
Festival & Parade
The festival is a free two-day event at Loring Park (Saturday and Sunday), with multiple stages and 650+ vendors, plus a Friday Youth Night. The Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade steps off Sunday at 11 AM, marching down Hennepin Avenue and ending near the park. Together they draw roughly 500,000 people across the weekend.
St. Paul & Beyond
Across the river, the smaller STP Pride runs earlier in June in St. Paul, and MNPOC Pride (Twin Cities Black Pride) closes out the summer in mid-August.
