Chicago's Pride celebration consists of a full month of festivities and events, culminating with the Chicago Pride Parade, which traditionally takes place the last Sunday of June.
The 53rd annual Chicago Pride Parade steps off at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 30, 2024 from the Sheridan and Broadway (3900 N. Broadway).
The parade treks through the north side of the city, ending near the intersection of Diversey Parkway and Sheridan Road in Lincoln Park.
The annual parade, which started as a protest march in 1970 after the Stonewall Riots in New York City, has grown into the city's second-largest parade of nearly 200 entries, typically attracting more than 1 million people to multiple northside neighborhoods, particularly East Lakeview.
Make sure to look for the Jewel-Osco & 103.5 KISS FM float in this year's parade!
