This year’s festival will be in Mankato’s newest park, Riverfront Park.  Without a doubt, this new, gorgeous location will be a one of the reasons, Pridefest 2010 will be the best ever!

Kick off the weekend friday night at our annual “Queeraoke” Pride Party.  8pm-1am.  Pub 500.

Saturday starts with our Pride Parade, 11:15.  Enjoy this new route that will have us marching right into the festival grounds and a sea of rainbows!  Mulberry&Riverfront to Rock&Riverfront.

Following the parade, join us for a day of music, exhibits, food, drinks, and more.  The festival is completely family friendly, with many activities for kids and adults of all ages.  For a detailed schedule of the day and featured activities, check out our pridefest page.  Noon-6pm.  Riverfront Park.

Finish off the night at our annual Pridefest Dance!  8pm-12am. Morson Ario, VFW.  1920 Riverfront Drive.
