About Bloomington Pride:
Bloomington Pride is currently being overseen by Twin Cities Pride until it's able to establish it's own 501c3. Until then, it will be guided by the bylaws of Twin Cities Pride. If you have any questions please email andi.otto@tcpride.org
Twin Cities Pride is the 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization that produces the annual LGBTQ Pride Festival, March, and other events. In addition, Pride sponsors other LGBTQ nonprofits, including but not limited to the MN Deaf Queers, MN POC Pride, and other Prides around the state.
Twin Cities Pride is run primarily by volunteers and a few full-time employees.
If you're part of a company/group/organization that has actively worked against or physically harmed ANY members of the LGBTQ+ community, then Pride is not the space for you.
We seek involvement from vendors who affirm and support our mission and the history of and purpose in holding a pride festival:
Twin Cities Pride seeks to empower every LGBTQ person to live as their true self and to create a future where all LGBTQ people are valued and celebrated for who they are.
The Pride celebration commemorates and continues the fight against discrimination and the struggle for equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons and their families.
Acceptance to Bloomington Pride includes, but is not limited to, the following criteria:
Proposed product & services (service to the community, quality, pricing, uniqueness)
Commitment to and support of the LGBTQ community
Booth size and requirements
Level of professionalism
Agreement to conform to established procedures
Submitting an application and receiving a confirmation email after you’ve completed the application DOES NOT mean you have been accepted, just that your application has been received.
If approved as a booth vendor, you will be automatically charged the remaining fees associated with the selections you made during the application process along with a 6.25% payment processing fee. Once approved, you will have 2 weeks to provide the ST-19 (required for all vendors regardless if you are selling any items or not).
By submitting an application, you agree to abide by the policies and procedures outlined now and during the festival by Bloomington Pride/Twin Cities Pride.

Vendors are responsible for taking trash to dumpsters or away with them.
You must provide your own tent (unless you have selected on your application to purchase from us to provide).
You must provide your own table and chairs.
Currently we are not providing power. If you think you may have power needs, email festival@bloomingtonpridemn.org to discuss (there would be an associated fee).

Once approved as a vendor, the Applicant understands that fees are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE.
If the circumstances cause the festival to be delayed, fees will transfer to the new date for the event. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO HAVE THE EVENT DUE TO THE PANDEMIC OR OTHER ACTS OF GOD, FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.
