The Chicago Pride Parade is Sunday.

It steps off at noon Sunday from Montrose Avenue and Broadway and ends at Diversey Parkway and Sheridan Road.

Best bet to get there: Take public transportation rather than drive, and expect the L to be packed.

To get a good spot, head there early.

The parade typically highlights Pride Month for many in the LGBTQ+ community.

The late June date commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots, the protests in New York that were pivotal in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.
