TimeOut Chicago Pride Month Events*
Pride Fest Chicago® June 16-17, 2018 is one of many Chicago Pride Events in June. Even though June is no longer recognized by the White House as national Pride Month, the celebration will go on!
The Chicago Pride Parade is a Chicago tradition spanning more than four decades, but celebrations of gay pride have long since expanded beyond just the Northalsted parade. The big event on the last Sunday in June is now accompanied by Pride weekend festivities in alternative gayborhoods like Andersonville and Rogers Park. And LGBTQ-themed cultural offerings including theater, comedy shows and queer-friendly concerts dot the June calendar. We’ll keep adding to the list as dates firm up and new events are announced.
Crank up your favorite gay anthem and start planning out your Pride.
