CTA
From the Red Line, Wilson, Sheridan, Addison or Belmont all provide access via a short walk to the parade route.
From the Brown Line, Diversey, Wellington and Belmont are the nearest stations to the parade.
Lakefront bus routes, including the #146 and #151, provide convenient access from the north, the Gold Coast/North Michigan Avenue and downtown, to the areas east of the parade route.
The Belmont station and the area around it tends to become the most crowded on the day of the Pride Parade. We encourage you to consider avoiding this area and enjoying the parade from other parts of the route, including near Wilson and Sheridan on the Red Line. Entry to the Belmont station may be restricted to the main entrance on the south side of Belmont Avenue.
