Chicago's Pride Parade is one of the largest, by attendance, in the world with 1,000,000+ people. The Chicago Pride Parade, also called the Chicago Gay Pride Parade or PRIDE Chicago, is held on the last Sunday of June. Expect workshops, dances, picnics, plays, film screenings and more! Now there’s a whole 30 days of around 100 different social, cultural and sporting events that take place in different areas of the Chicago metro area. Then Pride Week was expanded to 'Pride Month' in order to accommodate the abundance of events. Historically, in the 1970's and 1980's, Pride events were concentrated during a week called 'Pride Week' in Chicago. However, Gay Pride Chicago is just one part of June Pride Month in the city. Gay Pride Chicago is a huge gay event taking place each year in Illinois' largest city and includes a weekend festival and Parade on Pride Sunday.
