The biggest celebration of Pride Month is almost upon us—the Chicago Pride Parade marches through the streets of Lakeview this Sunday, June 30.
What streets will be closed for the Chicago Pride Parade?
The procession will step off at 11am from Sheridan and Broadway and travel south via Broadway and Halsted. Of course, that means all streets along the parade route will be closed off to traffic starting as early as 8:30am on Sunday, according to the city of Chicago.
