When is St. Paul Pride?
The Twin Cities metro spreads Pride across several events on both sides of the river.
STP Pride (St. Paul, mid-June)
STP Pride is St. Paul's own community festival, held in mid-June at Dual Citizen Brewing Company in the Creative Enterprise Zone — an independent, smaller event about two weeks before the big Minneapolis celebration. Its 2027 dates are confirmed as June 19-20.
Twin Cities Pride (Minneapolis, last weekend of June)
The metro's flagship is Twin Cities Pride at Loring Park in Minneapolis — a free two-day festival on the last full weekend of June (expected June 26-27, 2027) with the Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade on Sunday down Hennepin Avenue, drawing hundreds of thousands.
MNPOC Pride (August)
MNPOC Pride (Twin Cities Black Pride) closes out the summer in mid-August. Browse everything on Out x Out.
