Clark Street (at Walton)\, Chicago\, IL.\n\n\nWe will gather to draw attention to Chicago’s rich and vibrant LGBTQ+ heritage as we work towards formal historic federal recognition for Washington Square Park. \n\n\n\n\nOn Saturday\, June 28\, 2025\, starting at noon\, a coalition of community activists will gather in Chicago’s Washington Square Park – a historic free-speech forum also known as “Bughouse Square” – to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the world’s first LGBTQ+ Pride Rally and March\, which took place in Chicago on June 27\, 1970\, a day before similar events in New York City and Los Angeles (making it the first Pride March in the World). \n\nThe 1970 march in Chicago\, which began at Washington Square\, commemorated the Stonewall Uprising of the previous year and laid the groundwork for the LGBTQ+ Pride Parades that have taken place internationally for the past 50 years. \nCONTACT: Gary Chichester\n\n\n773-209-7389\nchicgary@earthlink.net
