Twin Cities Pride 2027: parade, festival & events

Twin Cities Pride is expected to return to Loring Park in Minneapolis in late June 2027. While the official dates and full program have yet to be announced, the festival is traditionally held over the final weekend of June and is Minnesota's largest free Pride celebration.

Each year, Twin Cities Pride attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors for a weekend of live entertainment, community events, and one of the Midwest's biggest LGBTQ+ parades.

What to Expect

The Twin Cities Pride Festival transforms Loring Park into the heart of Minneapolis' LGBTQ+ community, with hundreds of exhibitors, local businesses, artists, food vendors, and community organizations. Multiple stages host drag performances, live music, DJs, and entertainment throughout the weekend.

The Twin Cities Pride Parade is one of the festival's highlights, with colorful floats, community groups, and corporate partners marching through downtown Minneapolis before crowds of more than 200,000 spectators.

Other events typically include Youth Pride activities, family-friendly programming, community receptions, fitness events such as the Rainbow Run, and Pride-themed celebrations across the Twin Cities throughout June.

The full schedule for Twin Cities Pride 2027 will be announced closer to the event.
