The Twin Cities could see some of its biggest crowds in almost two years this weekend.
Twin Cities Pride is returning to Loring Park on Saturday after going virtual in 2020.
Organizers expect about 200,000 people to attend, which is about half of what they see in an average year.
Festivities kicked off at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Friday night with the 9th annual Beer Dabbler, which sold out ahead of time.
Twin Cities Pride is known as the largest free Pride festival in the country.
This year, it will feature 300 BIPOC and LGBTQ+ vendors set up throughout Loring Park, along with food courts, a beer garden and music stages.
