Cost: Free

Organizer:

What to expect: Floats, bands, politicians and hundreds of thousands of people. Midwestern friendliness – not to mention colorful costumes, dancing and drunkenness – will be on full display at this rowdy event, the culmination of a weekend of Pride parties (including Pride Fest). Thousands descend on Lakeview for the event, so be prepared for long lines at virtually all of the area's bars and restaurants.
