About Twin Cities Pride: Twin Cities Pride is the 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization that produces the annual LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Festival, March, and other events. To see our impact on our community with the funding recieved by vendors like you check out our 2026 Community Impact Report.
The goal of Twin Cities Pride is always to create a safe and welcoming place for the LGBTQIA2S+ community to gather and celebrate together. If you are part of a company, group, or organization that has actively worked against or physically harmed ANY members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community then Pride is not the space for you.
We welcome vending businesses and organizations who affirm and support our mission. Twin Cities Pride wishes to create an environment that celebrates the gathering of a community, while remembering our history and all who have gathered before us:
Our Mission: Twin Cities Pride seeks to empower every LGBTQIA2S+ person to live as their true self and to create a future where all LGBTQIA2S+ people are valued and celebrated for who they are.
