The second annual Elgin Pride Parade and Festival in will be held in downtown Elgin on June 1st, 2024, from 11:00am to 5:00pm. The parade steps off at 11:00am heading north on Riverside Drive and returning south on Grove Avenue, culminating at Festival Park.
The festival, held in Festival Park starting immediately after the parade, will feature LGBTQ+ musicians and performance artists, local vendors offering merchandise and services, and a wide selection of food and non-alcoholic drinks.
“We were so honored by the love and support shown by the Elgin-area community last year,” says ELGbtq+ board member Sam Raue Hebert. “We’re excited to once again provide a safe, inclusive, family-friendly environment and to showcase our amazing local organizations and vendors.”
This family-friendly, daytime event was attended by more than 4,000 people in 2023. The 2024 event will again celebrate love, acceptance, and diversity and elevate the area’s LGBTQ+ community.
