Diverse Minneapolis

Minneapolis prides itself on the diversity throughout the city. Named “The Gayest City in America” by The Advocate, we have the most vibrant GLBT scene in the nation. Every year, the GLBT community in Minneapolis celebrates with a range of one-of-a-kind, signature events showcasing the city's diversity, including one of the largest Pride celebrations in the U.S.

Plus, Minneapolis is home to the largest Somali population in the U.S., the largest Hmong population outside Laos, the second-largest Vietnamese and Ethiopian populations and one of the fastest-growing Latino/Hispanic populations. The city’s many distinctive neighborhoods offer rich places for visitors to discover a plethora of ethnic shopping, dining and entertainment possibilities.

Open minded, vibrant, friendly and safe, this is an excellent and welcoming destination for visitors and their families.
