The Chicago Pride Parade returned in 2022. The route started at Montrose and Broadway in Uptown and ended near Diversey and Sheridan in Lincoln Park.
It was expected to be bigger than ever. After the pandemic brought the event to a halt for two years, the 51st Annual Pride Parade, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, is back and an incredible turnout was expected. In fact, 44th Ward Alderman Tom Tunney believed this parade would be the largest turnout the city has ever seen, and with that, he wanted more officers on the street.
He reached out to Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown to add more staffing. Brown said they have more dedicated police resources than ever before. The parade stepped off Sunday at noon from Montrose and Broadway in Uptown. Then, it winded its way through the North Side, ending near Diversey Parkway and Sheridan in Lincoln Park.
With street closures in place, the best bet was to take public transportation. Close to 1 million people were expected to attend the weekend pride festivities.
