Twin Cities Pride festival, parade postponed over COVID-19 concerns
Twin Cities Pride celebrations in June, including the Pride Festival and Pride Parade, have been postponed over concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The coronavirus pandemic has canceled many large gatherings this spring and is now leading to cancelations or postponement of summer events as well. Earlier this week, Grandma’s Marathon announced it would not be run in 2020, the first time the race has been canceled in its 44-year history.
Organizers have not announced when Pride will take place, but said they are monitoring federal and state health recommendations and will provide updates on alternate options for celebrating Pride.
