It would be hard to name a color of hair or nail polish, a length of skirt or eyelash, a rainbow placement or fishnet-stocking design not represented among the thousands of visitors to the Twin Cities Pride Festival on Saturday. As always, many of the ensembles in the crowd were eye-popping.
This weekend s festival returned to Loring Park in a big way after the COVID-19 pandemic forced organizers to limit last year s celebration to online-only content. Saturday s kickoff marked 756 days since the last gathering, held in June 2019.
