Pride in Chicago
Chicago knows how to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride! A majority of the Pride month events take place in the Northalsted neighborhood (commonly referred to as “Boystown”), the first official gay neighborhood in the country, but celebrations – from street festivals, concerts, and parties to the annual Chicago Pride Parade – take place all over the city.
Chicago Pride Fest
Chicago Pride Fest, organized by the Northalsted Business Alliance, features live music on 3 stages, a Youth Pride Space for teens, best of Chicago drag performance, the Proud Pet Parade with prizes, dance exhibitions, Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, guest speakers and over 150 food and merchandise vendors.
Navy Pier Pride
The annual Navy Pier Pride celebration is a free, full-day event that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and support for the LGBTQ+ community. Festivities include live music, educational programs, performances from local LGBTQ+ artists, on-site resources from community partners and more.
Chicago Pride Parade
The Chicago Pride Parade, organized by PRIDEChicago, traditionally concludes the city’s month-long pride celebrations. The Parade has become an iconic symbol of love, acceptance, and support for LGBTQ+ rights, attracting millions of participants, spectators, and supporters.
