"Chicago Pride Fest is a celebration of who we are and a reminder of why visibility still matters,”said Mark Liberson, Festival Chairperson. “While we honor the progress our community has fought for over the years, Pride remains as vital as ever. Across the country, we see a rise in legislation rooted in prejudice and harmful rhetoric, particularly impacting transgender individuals and BIPOC members of our community. This moment calls for unity, visibility, and continued advocacy, and Northalsted is proud to be the home of that spirit. We can't wait to welcome everyone to the festival."
A $20 suggested donation for entry helps to pay performers, festival workers, and supports local non-profits and community programs.
