Aurora Pride is excited to invite you to participate in the 2025 Aurora Pride Parade! Aurora is Illinois' second largest city, and we want to show our support for our LGBTQI family, friends and allies across the western suburbs and beyond.
We welcome the participation of businesses, religious organizations, non-profit organizations, youth groups, schools, community organizations, etc. It is a great way to show your group's support for the LGBTQI members of our community.
The parade is scheduled on Sunday, June 8, 2025, stepping off at noon. Lineup times and staging information will be sent approximately one week prior to the event.
Participation in the Parade is by APPLICATION ONLY. All applications are subject to review and approval. Aurora Pride reserves the right to reject or modify any application as deemed necessary. Because of time/space limitations, the number of units will be limited. The selection committee is looking for variety and show. Applicants are encouraged to develop a unit plan that will engage the crowd. Some suggested activities: music, chants, dancing, acrobatics, costumes/themes, bubbles, water sprayers/misters, roller skates/scooters, remote control vehicles, bicycles, instruments, etc. Please be as detailed as possible in your application to increase your chances of being selected.
