With a live broadcast on ABC7 Chicago, the parade is viewed and attended by over one million people, amplifying its message of love, acceptance, and advocacy to a wide audience.
Stretching over two miles, the Parade winds through Chicago’s historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood in Lakeview, continuing into Lincoln Park. The route is lined with a sea of supporters waving rainbow flags, creating a joyful and electric atmosphere.
