Pride Parade To Be Held In October After Last Year’s Coronavirus Cancellation....

Traditionally, the hugely popular parade is held on the last Sunday of June as a closing to Pride Month and a nod to the Stonewall Rebellion, which began June 28, 1969, and is largely considered a catalyst for the gay liberation movement. But the parade is being held later this year to give the city more time to bounce back from the pandemic, Frye said.

Fri, October 1, 2021 thru Sun, October 3, 2021 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM

Highlights include four entertainment stages featuring top local and national music acts, deejays, food and drink, 100-plus arts/craft and merchant vendors, dancing, drag shows, a pet parade, an “Out at Wrigley” national anthem singing contest, sponsor booths and more.

It’s a love-filled celebration of diversity, equality and the Chicago LGBTQ+ community on Halsted Street in the Boystown neighborhood, America’s first recognized gay village.

The festival is easily accessible via the CTA Red Line Addison station at historic Wrigley Field as well as multiple bus lines and rideshare car/cab services with convenient access to downtown hotels and other lodging.
