A little rain didn’t dampen the celebration at Chicago’s Pride Parade as thousands flooded the streets of Uptown and Lakeview on Sunday, June 25, 2023 for the 52nd annual parade.

The annual parade featured over 200 colorful entries, including colorful floats, decorated vehicles, marching bands and walking contingents representing community businesses, organizations and elected governmental officials.

In a display of solidarity, all of Chicago’s professional sports teams participated, underscoring their commitment to inclusion and support for the LGBTQ+ community. A notable highlight was the participation of NASCAR, marking its first-ever entry in the Chicago Pride Parade.
