Chicago Pride Parade 2025: The U & Chicago Sky Were Loud and Proud!

This past Sunday, June 29, The U teamed up with the Chicago Sky for the 54th Annual Chicago Pride Parade. We always say our experience gets better and better every year, and this year was no different. The weather in Lakeview was nice and sunny (except for a few small drizzles), and the crowds were as enthusiastic and welcoming as ever.

Thank you to all those who came out and cheered us on as we rolled on by in our decked-out Sky double-decker bus. You always make us feel so loved! Also, special thanks to the Sky staff, including Sky announcers, Shimmy Miller and Lisa Byington, and Skye the Lioness, for joining us this year. We had so much fun celebrating with you and promoting our amazing Sky players! And, of course, special thanks to our partner, Ankin Law, a proud supporter of pride.
