15th Annual St. Cloud Pride Packed With Full Week of Events

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- There is a full week of events scheduled as organizers get ready for the 15th annual St. Cloud Pride week.

Events will start on Monday and run through Sunday, September 22nd.

Spokeswoman Angel Hight says one way to participate is by showing your Pride colors.

You can get a St. Cloud Pride yard sign, we will have those for sale at most of the events that week, as well as the t-shirts that we have. So anything you can do, wear the colors, if you have a business put it up.

The first event is a get-together at Korppi Coffee in Sartell on Monday evening, there is a Pride and Peace Walk on Tuesday, Pride Trivia at Beaver Island Brewing, and a Drag Show at the River's Edge Convention Center.

Hight says one big change this year is that Pride in the Park has been moved from Saturday to Sunday.

So far attendance as far as vendors we've done just as great as previous years, probably even more we're at 160 vendors, so we anticipate a great turnout.

Other Pride events that Sunday, September 22nd include a Wellness Triathlon and a Puppy Parade at Lake George.
