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.
