Minneapolis Marriott City Center Named Official Hotel Sponsor for Twin Cities PRIDE Festival 2013

Celebrate Twin Cities PRIDE Festival, June 28 through 30, at Minneapolis Marriott City Center, the official Minneapolis hotel sponsor for the area's biggest equality weekend. With same-sex marriage officially passing through Minnesota legislature and officially legalized Aug. 1, this year's Pride Festival will be the most exciting yet.
