The 54th annual Chicago Pride Parade returns Sunday, June 29, 2025 at 11 a.m.
This year’s theme, United in Pride, highlights the power of coming together, embracing our diversity, and championing love, and equality as one united force. Together, we are unstoppable.
United in Pride is more than just a celebration—it’s a call to action for everyone to come together in building a world where authenticity is celebrated, individuality is honored, and equality and justice are unwavering truths for all.
Let’s make this year’s parade a celebration to remember!

Grand Marshals
For the first time in Chicago Pride history, a local community group will lead the parade as the inaugural “Out Front” Leader, followed by this year’s Community Grand Marshals.
TaskForce Prevention & Community Services, an LGBTQ+ youth-focused health and wellness organization located on the west side of Chicago, will lead the 2025 Chicago Pride Parade. TaskForce is being honored for its decades of unwavering service, providing critical resources, advocacy, and support to LGBTQ+ youth, particularly those in underserved communities.
Dr. Maya Green and Dr. Catherine Creticos will serve as the 2025 Community Grand Marshals. Both honorees were selected through an online nomination process, reflecting their profound impact on healthcare, advocacy, and the LGBTQ+ community.
