Nearly 400 vendors and exhibitors set up at the Pride Festival each year. From food & beverage to arts/crafts, employee groups and local nonprofit organizations, you can find just about anything your looking for at the Pride Festival.
Exhibiting at the Pride Festival is the only way to reach hundreds of thousands of the region's GLBT people and represents and excellent value. While some fees have risen to cover increased costs, exhibiting or vending at the Pride Festival remains much less costly than at nearly all other similar-sized events. Thank you for supporting Twin Cities Pride, a charitable, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
