The Chicago Pride Parade will have over 250 parade entries and over 500,000 spectators. It has grown to become the second-largest parade, behind the annual Bud Billiken Parade, which is also the largest African-American parade in the country. Just 150 people participated in the first Pride parade in Chicago in 1970.

Ten Tips For Parade Spectators
1.Parade spectators MUST stay behind barricades. Only registered parade entries, Parade Marshals, police, and other city officials will be allowed in the street.
2.The parade starts at 12 noon. So, arrive early to find a good spot.
3.Parking in the area is limited, so walk, take public transportation /(or if you must drive, then car pool). For CTA/PACE/Metra transit information, call 773-836-7000 or visit www.transitchicago.com.
4.Alcohol consumption should NOT take place along the parade route. Bring plenty of bottled water and sun screen and dress lightly!!
5.Keep the area clean by using trash barrels.
6.Since crowds have increased in recent years on Halsted Street, spectators are being asked to try other sections of the parade route to view the parade (for example, West Diversey Parkway or Broadway from Wellington to Diversey). Spectators must watch the parade on the parade route, not in the assembly area.
7.City ordinance prevents parade participants from tossing items to spectators. Likewise, spectators should not toss items back to parade participants. Spectators are not allowed to walk into the street to get items. Spectators must wait until parade participants come to the sidelines to hand out items. Parade participants are not allowed to hand out items to spectators who are standing on sidewalks in the assembly area. (So, spectators who want sample items must view the parade from the actual parade route.)
8.Do NOT use high-powered water rifles, "Super Soakers" or squirt guns, because they could cause injuries. 9.Each year when the parade ends, spectators are kept out of the street because the Streets and Sanitation Department removes barricades and begins cleaning the streets. Then, the police reopen the streets to traffic.
10.As in past years, police personnel and PRIDEChicago marshals will be on hand, but spectators can be a big help by obeying the above rules.
