In the spirit of full transparency, we want to make our vendors and attendees aware that, due to our new location in a city park, we are required to hire four police officers for Anoka Pride Day 2026. This is in accordance with the City of Anoka's rules for renting the park. We have also retained Sequeerity for de-escalation, if necessary. Please reach out if you have any concerns or questions.
