About Twin Cities GLBT Pride Each year, Twin Cities Pride produces the Pride Celebration in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The Celebration's attendance has nearly doubled in the last seven years, with 2006 attendance once again making us the third largest GLBT Pride in the United States. The Pride Celebration is comprised of several events. The two largest events are the Pride Festival and the Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade. Each year we also host events such as the Pride Boat Cruise, Pride Art Show, Pride Picnic. In addition the Pride Celebration includes other community-produced events that are working with Pride. Most of the primary events take place in the last weekend of June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in New York City, which took place beginning on June 27, 1969. "Stonewall," as it has become known, has been largely credited for beginning the modern-day GLBT human rights movement in the United States and around the world. For complete details about Pride's events and activities, pleasde download the publication "About Twin Cities Pride" below. |

Sponsorship All of the events produced by Pride except for the Pride Picnic are included in our sponsorship program. Sponsorship agreements are specific to a particular event, and generally the sponsorship rights, including exclusivity, do not extend beyond the specific event being sponsored. Sponsorship is available in one of several levels, with varying benefits on each. Benefits include logo placement on advertising and Pride's web site, ads on Pride's web site, including in Pride's email blasts, on-site exposure through banners and other displays, exposure on the map in the Pride Guide and on the Festival's large A-Frame map signs, among many others. For complete details on Pride's sponsorship program, please contact Dr. Cheryl Maloney via telephone at 612-305-6990 or via email. |

Demographics & Attendance Twin Cities Pride events have been experiencing a steady growth rate for the last five years, with an estimated combined event attendance in excess of 400,000 guests. Members of the GLBT community have shown through marketing studies that as a group tend to be very loyal to companies that specifically market towards them and support their community. One of the best ways to successfully engage the GLBT community is to sponsor the local Pride Celebration. For complete more information about the attendance and demographics at Pride events, please download the Demographics & Attendance publication below. |
