Twin Cities Pride

This weekend's virtual parade has been canceled; instead Twin Cities Pride will use its platform to support groups marching Sunday in Minneapolis for George Floyd and transgender rights. But Pride will go ahead with its Virtual Marketplace from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday. Visit virtualtcpride.org and explore an online map with links to local Pride-supporting businesses, or participate in virtual meet-and-greets with vendors. Check out the site for other online events, including performances. Meanwhile, other groups are hosting their own Pride events, including Transcendence Cabaret. (8-10 p.m. Sat., Facebook.com/TranscendenceCabaret) -Sheila Regan

Common Sound

The St. Louis Park music fest launched to bring a neighboring synagogue and church together is hoping to reach across many other aisles with its 2020 virtual installment. Beth El Synagogue teamed with the Twin Cities Film Fest to produce two different "concert-like" video tracks — including one for kids — featuring previously recorded performances by the Doomtree crew, Jeremy Messersmith, Lisa Loeb, Jonatha Brooke, Black Market Brass, Koo Koo Kanga Roo and more. Tickets ($11 apiece) allow you to view them anytime through Sunday and benefit Second Harvest Heartland and Minnesota Central Kitchen. (commonsoundfestival.com.) -Chris Riemenschneider

Jamecia Bennett

She has raised roofs with the Grammy-winning Sounds of Blackness and sparkled in the musicals "Crowns," "The Wiz" and "Marie and Rosetta." This weekend, the soul-stirring, blues-belting, gospel-shouting powerhouse will perform a rare outdoor concert, dubbed Family Pride in the Neighborhood (capacity 100 people in Brooklyn Park), that will be livestreamed via Park Square Theatre's Facebook page. (6 p.m. Sun., $25 donation suggested, parksquaretheatre.org.) -Jon Bream
