17th Annual St. Cloud Pride Week 2026

September 14th – 20th, 2026
Safety is a top Priority of the St. Cloud Pride Board at all of our events.
 
We have increased the safety and security at our events this week. Specifically we have contracted with Sequeerity to be at and within our Pride in the Park event. We have also been in contact with the St. Cloud Police department who will have increased patrols around the park.
 
We are continuing to monitor and make adjustments to ensure the safety of all of our participants at all of our events.
 
We ask that if you see anything concerning please share it with us at info@stcpride.org.
