Twin Cities Pride

Twin Cities Pride, sometimes Twin Cities LGBTQ Pride, is an American nonprofit organization in Minnesota that hosts an annual celebration each June that focuses on the LGBTQ community. The celebration features a pride parade which draws crowds of nearly 600,000 people. The parade was designated the Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade in honor of the late former parade organizer and transgender LGBTQ rights activist. Other Twin Cities Pride events include a festival in Loring Park and a block party spanning multiple days.
