Held the last Sunday in June every year, this parade (and weekend fest) is always a good time. I’ve attended in the past, not within the last year or two, but have many times in years gone by.

It is not as wild or crazy as some make it out to be, there are loads of families (both gay and straight) in attendance, and lots of kids as well. It is after all a parade, complete with floats, banners, pinatas, (and of course) the obligatory beads. Some of the floats are quite creative and the music totally hip hoppin.

As sure as Chicago is diverse, so is the Chicago Gay Pride Parade. There are latinos, blacks, chinese, indians, and everything else in between present. All in the name of brotherly and sisterly love.

Too bad i wont be attending this Summer, maybe next. If you are going, do let me know. Feel free to share your load of pics with me. I will post them here on the Chicago blog. Peace, Missy.
