Pride Pillars

REAL IMPACT

2025-2027

Pride partners with over 65 agencies, businesses and organizations to accomplish the mission of providing a FREE PUBLIC EVENT and game changing educational programs that are cutting edge and revolutionizing how we IMPACT the culture.

Pillar 1:

Uplift and invest in our queer BIPOC community in St. Paul and East Metro. Our artists are the most underpaid and overworked groups in the arts industry in MN. STP Pride innovates new ways to center our artists community. STP Pride will be announcing several new campaigns to uplift & invest. Transforming IMPACT into MOBILITY! 

Pillar 2: 

Create a dynamic and world class network of partners, sponsors and vendors who utilize STP Pride’s events and educational programs to innovate our approach to providing workforce solutions to BIPOC Queer Youth and Young Adults throughout St. Paul and the East Metro.

Pillar 3: 

STP PRIDE will always be a FREE PUBLIC EVENT! The most popular aspect of STP Pride is the Youth & Family Zone which offers enrichment, education & access. 65% of families who attend STP Pride and participate respond more favorably to STEM & Skilled related educational booths and festival activations. 

It’s HARD - but we have to do it! We are proud to be the organizers and producers of STP Pride - the responsibility is HUGE. We want to impact lives and fundamentally change the way Pride Festivals impact our world - we can do MORE!
