A record number of people have been celebrating the 44th annual Pride festival this weekend – on Saturday, about 100,000 people visited Minneapolis' Loring Park, FOX 9 reports.

The event was expected to draw even more people than usual after the fatal shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub earlier this month, organizers told BringMeTheNews.

“Retreating out of fear is natural instinct – but we must not let fear keep us from dancing,” Dot Belstler, executive director of Twin Cities Pride, said in a statement prior to this year's event. “Love will always triumph over hate.”

Tributes to Orlando

Pride organizers honored the victims of the Orlando shooting throughout the weekend.

At the start of the parade, people walked with the name and photo of the 49 people killed in the shooting.
