This year we will have a new area during the post-parade celebration at Daley Plaza: Sensory Space.
This area will be a less bright, less loud, & less crowded inside a CTA bus parked alongside Daley Plaza.
Ear plugs, fidgets, & activities like crosswords & coloring will be provided.
Our 2025 Chicago Disability Pride Parade Grand Marshal is MOPD Commissioner Rachel Arfa.
Commissioner Arfa is a visionary and transformative leader. Arfa was the first deaf person to serve as a member of a Mayor’s Cabinet nationwide.
