It’s the last weekend of Pride Month, and there is no shortage of LGBTQ+ events happening to end on a high note.
The biggest celebration will be the Chicago Pride Parade, happening 11 a.m Sunday in Lake View. To help make your parade day go more smoothly, Windy City Times rounded up everything from street closures and parking bans to where the cooling buses will be located. Read more on that here.
