What a day! Thank you Elgin for coming out to the fourth annual Pride parade and festival. Our feet are tired and our hearts are full! Many more updates and thanks to come, but for now: Follow our stage show artists Sweetie, Mahira BellyDance of Chicagoland, Blanket Fort Assembly and KJ Bear. Our unforgettable parade marshal was Linda the Lunch Lady (check out Launch Of Legends Drag Show). Thank you to our tireless volunteers, to the hundreds of vendors and parade participants, the thousands of attendees, and the City of Elgin for a bright and beautiful day!
