As Pride Month ramps up, Chicago will host a two-day street-festival this weekend featuring performers, food and merch vendors.
While street festivals are a staple in Chicago summer programming, the Pride Fest weekend is set apart for its celebration of LGBTQ+ community and culture.
Held in the Northalsted neighborhood adorned with rainbow crosswalks, Pride Fest will feature headliners including JoJo Siwa, Natasha Bedingfield and Bob The Drag Queen.
Chicago's Pride Parade, scheduled for the following weekend on June 30, will be kicking off from the same neighborhood.
