Located in the historic Northalsted neighborhood, this event brings together over 50,000 attendees to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and culture. Chicago Pride FestĪ beautiful two-day street festival. There are a host of events happening around Chicago throughout the month, and we’ve rounded them up below. It’s a time to celebrate and advocate for the queer community. The blue sky beckons outdoor activity, parks are filled with dogs, and picnics galore, and it’s Pride month! Pride first started in NYC and birthed the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. June in Chicago is a time unlike any other.
