Chicago Pride Parade<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Montrose & Broadway, Uptown, Chicago, IL 60640<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHEN:<\/strong> Sunday, June 26, 12:00 PM<\/span><\/p>\n

After two full years of cancellations due to Covid, the biggest, loudest,and most extravagant padade is back: the Chicago Pride Parade! This parade takes the North Side by storm, kicking off at Montrose and Broadway and through the streets to Diversey and Sheridan in Lincoln Park. To honor the Stonewall Riots, the Chicago Pride Parade traditionally takes place during the last weekend of June, with a celebration happening all weekend long leading up to the parade on Sunday at noon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, a major theme of the parade will be focusing on remember Richard Pfeiffer, a prominent and long-serving activist for gay rights in Chicago. He served the Chicago Pride Parade since the second annual parade in 1971, and remains a pivotal member to the LGBTQIA+ community in our neighborhoods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
