2026 Chicago Pride Parade

For over 50 years, the iconic Chicago Pride Parade has been the treasured centerpiece of the city’s month-long Pride celebrations, bringing vibrant energy and joyous festivities to the Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighborhoods on the last Sunday of June each year.

What began as a modest march has grown into one of the largest Pride parades in the United States and one of the world’s largest neighborhood parades.

Since 1974, the event has been organized by PRIDEChicago, a dedicated all-volunteer organization that, as of 2024, operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ensuring its legacy and commitment to the LGBTQ+ community for years to come.

More than just a parade, the event symbolizes a celebration of love, an embrace of unity, and a moment to reflect on the progress made in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. The Chicago Pride Parade continues to inspire millions to stand United in Pride.
