Pre-Parade Show
9:00am In Front of the Grandstand
 

The Pre-Parade Show is free and will be located in the Grandstand area at the corner of 9th & Hennepin.  We are still putting the finishing touches on plans for this year's Pre-Parade Show and will post information about it as it becomes available. We are working with the Festival Entertainment team to bring you a fabulous show to get you ready for the start of the largest Parade in the City of Minneapolis.

Among the performers in the Pre-Parade Show, Ovation, part of One Voice Mixed Chorus, will dazzle you with their vocal talents.

New Leather Flag Unveiling

Twin Cities Pride has partnered with Minnesota Leather Flag to replace both the Leather and Rainbow Fiant Flags over the next two years.  This year the brand-new Giant Leather Flag will be unveilled and the old flag decommissioned during the Pre-Parade Show in a brief, but moving, ceremony.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
Parade Narration
11:00am In Front of the Grandstand
   

Our emcees, including the fabulous Monica West (pictured right), will entertain you with their hillarious banter as they announce each contingent as it marches by.

In addition, our celebrity emcee will be Fox-9's Robyne Robinson (pictured below). We are excited to welcome Robyne back to the the announcers' stand this year.

Enjoy their hillarious banter as they announce the units marching by.  The best seats in the house are in the Grandstand, but there is only room for 100 people, so get your tickets now!

Because the Grandstand is also the location of the Parade Judges, many units will put on their best show as they march by.
