Duluth-Superior Pride Weekend Kicks Off In The Twin Ports
DULUTH, Minn.– The 35th annual Duluth-Superior Pride weekend kicked off Thursday at The Duluth Depot for the Mayor’s Opening Reception.
Mayor Emily Larson and other political leaders were on hand for the event celebrating the LGBTQ-plus community.
“How amazing it is that Duluth and Superior have an event where all of the area leaders come to help start the event and we have such an important place in our community here at The Depot,” said Josh Miller, Duluth-Superior Pride’s event coordinator.
Monica Travis attended the event and said coming out is not just a one-day thing, it is something that you have to do every day, and being surrounded by people who show their support makes it much easier.
“We need our adults, we need our allies, every stripe possible to just come out and support particularly youth, being happy, healthy, being themselves so that’s really why I’m here,” Travis said.
The weekend is filled with family friendly activities, including the Pride Festival at Bayfront Park on Saturday and the Pride Parade on Tower Avenue in Superior on Sunday.
