 * Chicago's 44th Annual Pride Parade **



Every year in Chicago, June Pride Month features dozens of social, cultural, athletic and political events. ALA's annual conference coincides with Chicago's world-famous parade, "a dazzling cavalcade of diversity." The parade kicks off at noon. on Sunday, June 30, 2013, at Montrose Avenue and Broadway in Uptown and ends near the intersection of Diversey Parkway and Sheridan Road in Lincoln Park.

Parade organizers say to expect streets lined 12 people deep as 750,000 people cheer the contingents on and enjoy the show, culture and experience. For the liveliest viewing spots they advise that you head to the Boystown section of North Halsted Street, between Belmont Avenue and Grace Street. For a less crowded parade venue, look for spots near the beginning of the route along Broadway between Montrose Avenue and Sheridan Road or further along Broadway between Belmont Avenue and Diversey Parkway.
