New Event Venue!
Soldiers Memorial Field Park will allow us more space for additional vendors as well as other activities. The ever growing Pridefest events are possible because of the volunteers that do all the event planning; the sponsors who help fund the events; the vendors and performers who spend their time providing information and entertainment; and you for attending the events. All are needed to make the events a success.
The Gay/Lesbian Community Services of South Eastern Minnesota (GLCS) held its first Pride event at Central Park during July 1988. In later years the event was moved to the Peace Plaza. Now in July 2017, Pridefest is again on the move to a new location at Soldiers Memorial Field Park.
Friday – Youth Prom at Rochester Public Library & Dragagonza at the International Event Center
Saturday – Vendor Market Square & Block Party at Soldiers Memorial Field Park
Sunday – Community Church Services & Community Picnic at Soldiers Memorial Field Park
