About Golden Valley Pride
The Golden Valley Pride Festival is a celebration of LGBTQIA+ individuals, families, friends, and allies from Golden Valley, surrounding Western Metro communities, and all over the Metropolitan area.
As the first and largest suburban pride festival in Minnesota, we provide an inclusive experience uniting people from across the Twin Cities metro area and beyond. All are welcome! The Festival is entirely organized by volunteers and is a non-profit Festival.
The 1st Annual Golden Valley Pride Festival was on June 12, 2016 at Brookview Park. The event was a huge success, with over 3,000 people in attendance. Since then, the Festival has grown to over 8,000 attendees with food trucks and vendors, two entertainment stages, activities for the whole family, a beverage garden featuring beer, wine, ciders, and seltzers, and over 120 Sponsor and Exhibitor booths!
Why a Suburban Pride?
We know that Pride celebrations come in all shapes and sizes, and this was an opportunity to focus on the things that make Golden Valley and our neighboring communities great - awesome parks, vibrant communities, and proximity to downtown while still retaining that smaller city feel.
