Experience the 2025 Chicago Pride Parade with Elite Rides Chicago

Each summer, the streets of Chicago come alive in a dazzling display of color, unity, and celebration—it's the Chicago Pride Parade, and it’s unlike anything else in the city. For locals and visitors alike, this event is a vibrant expression of love, diversity, and inclusion. But with hundreds of thousands of people flooding the streets of Lakeview, getting there (and getting around) can be a challenge.

At Elite Rides Chicago, we specialize in luxury, private transportation designed to make your Pride Parade experience seamless, safe, and stress-free. Whether you're going with friends, family, or flying solo, we’ve got the perfect ride to match your Pride energy.

What Is the Chicago Pride Parade?

The Chicago Pride Parade is one of the largest LGBTQ+ Pride events in the Midwest—and in the nation. Typically held on the last Sunday of June, it marks the culmination of Pride Month and serves as a joyful, powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality.

The parade features more than 150 entries, including

Local organizations and nonprofits
Drag performers and musicians
Political and community leaders
Corporate and small business sponsors
Ally groups and activist networks

The 2025 parade is scheduled for Sunday, June 29, and will begin at Montrose Avenue and Broadway, continuing through Chicago’s Boystown neighborhood before ending near Lincoln Park. Festivities begin around noon, but the crowds and energy build well before that—and linger long after.

Why You Need Elite Rides for Pride
