Festival Entertainment
At Twin Cities Pride, our festival is more than a celebration; it’s a platform to elevate and amplify local talent on our stages. We believe in showcasing the vibrant diversity of our community, and through our event, we aim to provide a spotlight for artists, performers, and creators from the Twin Cities area. Join us in celebrating and supporting our local talent as we come together to honor our community’s rich culture and history.
Entertainment applications for Pride 2026 are open January 15th-March 31st, 2026. Everything is done through the application; you will be asked to provide video links, social links, bios, and more. We do not take pitches or meetings about artists, but we would love to see you in our applications this year!
The Stonewall Stage is dedicated to all things drag! Here you can snag yourself a spot in the grass, our ADA viewing platform, or watch from the Stonewall Beer Graden as the best drag performers in Minnesota perform. This stage is packed full of talent over two days.
Celebrating it’s 25th anniversary, the Power to the People Stage is a celebration of BIPOC LGBTQIA2S+ artistry, culture, and expression. Curated by and for the community, this stage uplifts the voices and talents of Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, and people of color. From music and spoken word to dance and drag, each performance is a powerful reminder that representation matters, and that Pride must center the voices of those who have always been at the heart of the movement.
Club Loring is located in our main beer garden. Club Loring is two days of DJs, yard games, and endless amounts of fun!
Must be 21+ to enter. There will be N/A options for purchase.
Discover the heart of youth empowerment at our Rainbow Stage, nestled in our exclusive Youth Hideaway. Over three days, this stage comes alive with programming crafted especially for our younger generation. Join us for a celebration of diversity, creativity, and queer joy as we showcase performances, workshops, and activities that inspire and empower our future leaders.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
