After taking the last two years off from celebrating in person due to the pandemic, the Chicago Pride Parade returns in full fashion to the streets of Lake View and Uptown on Sunday for what’s traditionally one of the city’s biggest gatherings of the year.
The parade represents the biggest moment of Pride Month for many in the LGBTQ+ community. The late June date commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots, a series of protests in New York that are considered a pivotal event in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.
