55th Annual Chicago Pride Parade Underway

This year's theme is "Free to Be Proud," honoring those who paved the way while affirming the ongoing commitment to ensuring every person can live openly and authentically.

Parade organizers urge attendees to drink water, seek shade, and pace themselves.

Temperatures are climbing to 80 degrees with feels-like temperatures in the 90s. Six cooling buses are set up throughout the two-mile parade route for anyone needing to cool off.

A total of 155 groups and floats are participating in this year's parade.

Drivers should expect extensive street closures, heavy pedestrian traffic, and significant travel delays throughout the area. Officials recommend using the CTA rail service, though stations near the parade route may be crowded.

The parade begins at Sheridan Road and Broadway before traveling south on Broadway, south on Halsted Street, east on Belmont Avenue, back to Broadway, and ending on Diversey Parkway at Cannon Drive. Belmont Avenue, particularly between Halsted Street and Broadway, is one of the busiest viewing areas along the route.

Crowd management efforts continue as attendees move through designated pedestrian and cycling routes.

The 55th Annual Chicago Pride Parade is underway, bringing thousands of participants and spectators to the Lakeview neighborhood for one of the city's largest annual events.

Officers continue directing pedestrian and scooter movement near barricaded sidewalks and parked vehicles.
