It’s That Time of Year Again

That’s right. It’s time to get out your rainbow flags and marching boots because we’re taking streets and cities by storm over the month of June.

Milwaukee’s PrideFest 2009 begins Friday and runs through Sunday – Cyndi Lauper, Brandy and others will be performing at the three-day party on the lakefront.

Chicago started celebrating at the beginning of the month and won’t be stopping until the end. The annual Chicago Pride Parade will be held on 28 June at noon on the north side of the city. Having gone in years past, it’s definitely worth the trip.

This post was actually inspired by Susie’s daughter, whose band played in Austin Pride this past weekend (and almost made the local news!).

UPDATE
How could I forget Wisconsin Capitol Pride, scheduled to take place on 15-16 August at the Alliant Energy Center? Oh, that’s right – I didn’t know about it. Thank you, Facebook.
