The story

Duluth Superior Pride in Duluth

Duluth Superior Pride is the annual LGBTQ+ celebration of the Twin Ports, spanning Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin, over Labor Day weekend. Organized by the nonprofit Duluth Superior Pride, the weekend centers on a daylong festival at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth and a parade down Tower Avenue in Superior, bookended by community receptions, an art show, and volunteer-run programming.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

What sets Duluth Superior Pride apart is its binational, two-city format: rather than a single city block party, it stretches across the harbor that divides Duluth, Minnesota, from Superior, Wisconsin, uniting the Twin Ports region under one banner

The weekend opens with a Mayors' Reception at the Historic Union Depot, continues with a queer-focused visual art show at a downtown gallery, fills Bayfront Festival Park with a full day of music, vendors, and community and advocacy groups, and closes with a parade down Superior's Tower Avenue

The city starts moving

Marking roughly four decades of organizing by 2026, the event reflects a long-running, entirely volunteer-run effort to sustain 2SLGBTQIA+ visibility in a smaller regional city rather than a major metro
