CHICAGO PRIDE FEST: Saturday, June 28, the day before Chicago's iconic Pride Parade (Sunday, June 29). Festive ... Jubilant ... Fun ... are just a few of the words to describe this day-long gathering that's a non-stop, early-summer party. Hosted by (and benefiting) the Northalstead Area Merchants Association this equally crowd-pleasing gay and lesbian celebration of community pride will be back bigger than ever in its 6th year!

It also features entertainment on two stages including one dedicated to some of Chicago's fine performers in the gay community. Click here for more information.
