The 51st annual Chicago Pride Parade marches through the city's Boystown neighborhood. The parade winds its way through the north side of the city, ending near the intersection of Diversey Parkway and Sheridan Road in Lincoln Park. Pride Month in June highlights Chicago's vibrant LGBTQIA+ community. The energy in the city peaks on Pride Weekend, which traditionally falls on the last weekend of June each year, to commemorate the Stonewall Riots.
