Please join the North Star Kennel Club as we march in Twin Cities LGBTQ+ Pride March! We will be marching in front of and behind the Leather Pride flag along side Minnesota Leather Pride. Feel free to join in the fun and interact with the crowd!
Due to construction on Hennepin Avenue, the parade starts at 7th & Hennepin and proceeds down Hennepin to Spruce then into Loring Park.
We will start gathering beside the Leather Pride Flag near 7th & Hennepin at 10am. Be there by 10:40 am at the latest. Parade begins at 11 a.m. The Leather Flag is #6 in the parade, between the Trans Flag and the Unity Flag.
Once we have finished the parade route, stick around for a group photo being taken by MNLP if you wish to do so.
The post parade photo will be taken on the hill near the corner of Yale and Willow, at the edge of the park, facing the Whitney Fine Arts building.
Then enjoy the Festival at Loring Park!

The North Star Kennel Club is proud to host our July public mosh . This is a public event and is open to all.

NOTE: Proof of vaccination OR negative test will be required upon entry. Attendees will need to provide documents/vaccine cards that reflect that they have had all shots at least 2 weeks prior to the event, or must provide confirmation of a negative PCR Covid test result dated within 48 hours of the event. Photos of vaccine cards will be acceptable. A negative take home Covid test, physical or a photograph, will not be acceptable.

This event is free to NSKC members. A $5 donation is requested but not required from non-members.
The pet community has grown out of the leather community and we come together to celebrate and play. However, human-pet role-play has taken on its own identity with its entry level being low and non-threatening, energizing and rewarding, with treats and toys and no small talk required. Many find it therapeutic.

Come join us! Find out what we’re about. Maybe take off your shoes, get down on your knees and pup out. You don’t need gear, just an open mind.

North Star Kennel Club is group of human-pups, pets, handlers, and people curious about pet play in Minnesota and the Midwest. We are based out of Minneapolis and strive to educate people about pup play and provide a comfortable, accessible, and safe place to enjoy it.
