Chicago Pride Parade

PARADE ROUTE: Rolling closing times. Cross streets will close as the parade travels south down the route. The parade begins at 11 a.m. from W. Sheridan and N. Broadway, continues south along Broadway, then Halsted, east along Belmont to Broadway, then south to Diversey.

Streets will be closed for both the assembly area and the parade route. The assembly area will close at 10:30 a.m., and includes:

• Broadway between Wilson and Clark
• Sunnyside between Broadway and Sheridan
• Sheridan between Wilson and Clark

CROSS STREETS: Rolling closing times. Cross streets will close as the parade travels south down the route. After stepping off at Noon, the parade will take approximately two and one-half hours to finish crossing the Broadway & Montrose corner. After this time, the floats will still be winding their way to the end of the parade route at Diversey & Sheridan. This year there will NOT be a Buffer Zone on Halsted Street after the parade ends. Police will work to re-open the streets to vehicular traffic as soon as cleaning crews are finished and the streets will not remain open to foot traffic.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:

Street parking is limited and the area will be very crowded. If you drive, consider car-pooling, and be prepared to park far away and walk to the parade route.

Public transportation offers many options. The following CTA train stops are on or near the parade route:

• Red line: Wilson (Just north of the parade’s start point, you can walk back south and avoid the crowded stops), Sheridan (not fully accessible), Addison, Belmont (the most crowded stop!)
• Brown line: Belmont (the most crowded stop!), Wellington, Diversey (near the parade’s end point)

CTA buses may be re-routed on parade day. Visit transitchicago.com for route-planning tools and route updates.

Ride-share apps like Uber or Lyft may be an option, though keep in mind street traffic will likely be congested. Pick a drop-off location several blocks from the parade route and walk over to the parade route.
