Twin Cities Pride Parade draws thousands to Minneapolis
The 2024 Twin Cities Pride Festival was held in Minneapolis’ Loring Park on the last weekend in June, with a parade on Sunday winding down Hennepin from 3rd Avenue to Spruce. With 134 participants, floats represented groups from the local sports teams and Roller Derby to the Queer Caucus of the Minnesota Legislature and large local employers like U.S. Bank. The Twin Cities Pride organization, which coordinates the event, has summer camps and further pride events in other cities planned this summer. For more information, visit tcpride.org.

Sharon Rosenberg-Scholl points and cheers on some of her friends who walked with the Transforming Families Minnesota group in the Twin Cities Pride Parade in Minneapolis on Sunday, June 30, 2024. Rosenberg-Scholl attended the parade with her wife of 27 years, Tina Scholl, and their close friends Katherine Lee and April Conlee, who have been married since 1995. The two pairs met on a listserv called The Moms List meant for “queer moms and wannabes” according to Sharon. She laughs and jokes “We’ve become the queer elders.” Sharon and Tina have been attending the Twin Cities Pride Festival for about 30 years when the size of the festival and parade were nothing compared to what it is now.
