When is the Chicago Pride Parade? Date, time, route and how to watch
A month of celebrating LGBTQ+ pride in the Windy City will culminate in the Chicago Pride Parade Sunday.
Around the country, cities have been celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York. The protests following police raids at the popular gay bar are credited with moving the needle on LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S., and many cities started holding Pride parades the following year.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the parade in Chicago, which kicks off from the queer neighborhood Northalsted. The theme of this year's parade is Pride is Power.
