Chicago Gay Pride Parade 2009
The Pride Parade is scheduled each year for the
last Sunday in June at 12 Noon. The parade features 250
registered entries including floats, decorated vehicles,
performance groups, a marching band and walking contingents. The
entries represent community organizations, businesses,
governmental officials and individual community members.
Crowd estimates each year are in the hundreds of thousands. So
the plans are to line the parade route with barricades on both
sides of the street from beginning to the end of the parade
route. Spectators will be required to remain behind the
barricades.
