Thank you so much for volunteering! We could not do People’s Pride without you :)
ACCESSIBILITY: We want to make volunteering at People’s Pride accessible for all! There is a variety of tasks for all capacities of volunteering. If you have any questions about the specifics of a volunteer role or would like to volunteer but are not seeing anything that would work comfortably for you, please reach out to the Minneapolis People’s Pride team at mplspeoplespride@gmail.com, and we will be happy to answer any questions or work with you to find a role.
PRE-PEOPLES PRIDE VOLUNTEER GET TOGETHER & TRAINING: We will be hosting a pre-event de-escalation training for our volunteers. We also want to use this time as a chance to get to know one another, print volunteer t-shirts, and answer any volunteer-related questions before People's Pride. This event will take place sometime the week before People's Pride. Exact location and timing TBD. Attendance is not mandatory but we would like all volunteers that are able to attend to do so!
Even if you cannot attend you will still get a free volunteer shirt :)
For those interested in volunteering for 2026 Minneapolis People’s Pride, please check back closer to the event date for the 2026 Volunteer Form.
Artists & Vendors
The purpose of hosting vendors is to create space that supports and gives back to the community—as a mutual aid market.
We ask that all vendors give at least 10% of profit(not revenue) to a mutual aid of their choice.
There will be a 50 vendor limit. All are welcome to apply with priority for:
—Queer artists: Priority will be given to queer artists.
—BIPOC artists: There is a 20 vendor cap on non-BIPOC artists.
—Variety between artists: When choosing vendors we prioritize having a variety of vendor types, no more than 5 of any type of artist. For example, we will not host more than 5 ceramicists.
—New & Returning artists: We aim to have about a 50/50 split of new vendors and returning vendors from years past.
—Food vendors: We are not accepting any food vendors!
The park board has asked us to refrain from sexually explicit content. If this applies to you, please reach out to us and we can find a way for you to still be a part of Pride, your participation matters to us!
Vendor Logistics
Please note that all participants will have to provide their own table/chairs/etc. However, this is not a barrier. If accepted as a vendor we will be in contact to provide you these items as best we can.
Vendor Fees: Powderhorn Park has asked for a $52 fee and contact information for each of our vendors. Fundraising has allowed us to make this fee $20-50 sliding scale for the selected 50 vendors. If you cannot give at least a $20 tabling fee by the end of the event let us know below and we will try our best to accommodate, we do not want money to be a barrier! This fee only applies to accepted vendors who wish to collect funds(selling wares or fundraising).
If you wish to host a fundraiser(donating 100%), Minneapolis People’s Pride will consider waiving the $52 fee completely.
Applications Open: April 1
Applications Close: May 15
Accepted Applications known by: June 1
All updates on your application will be over email.

Tablers
Tabling is different from being a vendor in that you can only distribute goods for free.
Think of workshops, skill shares, demos, info sessions, and beyond! Some examples from previous year’s tablers: Basic first aid skills class, Free haircuts, Bike repair space, Mending station, Clothing swaps, Harm reduction education, and etc.
When applying for a table, a fee will not apply to you, nor will your table count toward the 50 vendor cap. You will, however, still be expected to bring your own table/chairs/ blanket/ tent. There will be 20 table cap on tables that are informational / free goods.
All tablers will be expected to wear a mask for the duration of the event, as well as during set up and take down, and we will have masks available at the event. If you have a disability that prevents you from wearing a mask, there will be an accommodations form to fill out upon approval of your application. We also will have several volunteers during set up and take down who can offer assistance with any accessibility needs. We want you at the event, please let us know if there is any barrier for your attendance and we will try to mitigate it
This is our #1 priority right now, and we want YOU to be part of it! Got something to share? Apply for a tabling space below and help build community.
