Yaaaas queen! Time to be out and PROUD during Chicago Pride Month 2019!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Chicago native, you know that there are plenty of LGBTQ\u2013friendly events happening throughout the month of June, which has been designated as National Pride Month. But since there are so many, it\u2019s hard to narrow down which ones are worth attending and\u00a0where you can find the cuties we know<\/em> you’re looking for. *wink wink*<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry. Here at UrbanMatter, we\u2019ve got you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These are all the best events to attend during Chicago Pride.<\/p>\n

North Shore Pride Fest<\/h2>\n

June 1 @ Everts Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

We recommend starting national pride month in Chicago off at <\/span>the North Shore Pride Fest<\/a> on June 1. This pride fest in Chicago will include family friendly activities and <\/span>adult-oriented events like the Drag Show & Taste the Rainbow Pub Crawl, which starts at 5 p.m. This pride parade in Chicago features\u00a0<\/span>different drinks at each location inspired by ROY G BIV, such as Red Honey Pomegranate, Orange Mango Tropical Screwdriver, Yellow Citrus Fizz, and so on, you\u2019ll be tastin\u2019 the rainbow for hours (and maybe a little bit later when you’re chucking it back up).<\/span><\/p>\n

Sing and Dance With Lesbian Feminists<\/h2>\n

June 15 @ First Unitarian Church of Chicago\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a lesbian feminist with musical affinities, you could find a beautiful community during national pride month at the First Unitarian Church of Chicago, an inclusive place celebrating all walks of life, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. On June 15 at 7 p.m., We Sing What Sparkles <\/a><\/span>creates an atmosphere of inclusion while cultivating a collaborative performance that speaks to everyone in the room. After the concert, the dancing begins, and you\u2019re definitely not going to want to miss that. I\u2019m getting hot just thinkin\u2019 about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flag Day BBQ and Beer Bust<\/h2>\n

June 8 @ Replay Lakeview<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a fundraiser and pride fest in Chicago supporting the American Veterans for Equal Rights on June 8, otherwise known as the <\/span>Flag Day Beer Bust & BBQ<\/span><\/a>. That\u2019s bound to be fun. Can\u2019t go wrong with beer and BBQ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago Pride Fest<\/h2>\n

June 22 – 23 @ Halsted St from Addison to Grace<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chicago Pride Fest itself, though, is another story. The pride parade in Chicago<\/a> focuses\u00a0<\/span>solely on entertainment and\u00a0<\/span>is a unique festival where all members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies can dance, laugh, eat, drink, and jam out to all the live music playing throughout the weekend on June 22-23. This Chicago pride 2019 event will include s<\/span>everal drag shows throughout the day, so there\u2019s no way you\u2019ll leave feeling cheated on entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n

30 Under 30 Awards<\/h2>\n

June 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

On June 20, the Windy City Media Group celebrates 30 significant young LGBTQ+ individuals who have made notable contributions and changes to the community at the <\/span>30 Under 30<\/span><\/a> Awards. This year’s sponsors include AIDS Foundation of Chicago, Center on Halsted, and Howard Brown Health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feminist Block Party<\/h2>\n

August 24 @ Women and Children First Bookstore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Celebrating their 40th anniversary, Women and Children First is hosting a Feminist Block Party on the Honorary Women and Children First Way. Enjoy live music, kids activities, feminist crafts, and free food at this pride fest in Chicago while celebrating national pride month.<\/p>\n

Pride Bowl XII<\/h2>\n

June 28 – 29 @ Montrose Lakeside Fields<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no way you can miss out on this next event that is occurring during the national pride month . On June 28 – 29, the Chicago Metropolitan Sports Association hosts probably the best tournament of the year: <\/span>Pride Bowl XII<\/span><\/a>. Gays, straights, and everyone in between participate in a Flag Football competition and play by the rules of the National Gay Flag Football League. The fact that this exists is enough to excite us, so you can probably imagine how proud we’ll be watching the actual event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Navy Pier Pride<\/h2>\n

Chicago Pride Parade<\/h2>\n

June 30 @ Broadway and Montrose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, you can head on up to Boystown, where you can witness the <\/span>50th Annual Chicago Pride Parade<\/span><\/a> take off on Sunday, June 30. Thousands of people from all over the world will gather at this pride parade in Chicago <\/span>to celebrate love for what it is. This pride fest will also include <\/span>drag queens, Dykes on Bikes, supportive LGBTQ+ clubs, and other groups for the <\/span>walk down Broadway and Halsted. Walk\u00a0<\/span>hand-in-hand with your significant other or friends pride fest in Chicago. And tbh, we’re praying for rain this year, because last year was blazin\u2019 hot. <\/span><\/p>\n
