Close out the month with the ultimate celebration of the 2024 Chicago Pride Parade. The theme of the 53rd annual parade — one of the oldest and largest in the country — is “Pride is Power.” Grand marshals are Fortune Feimster and Jax Smith; Art Johnston and José Pepe Peña; and Myles and Precious Brady-Davis.
They’re still going strong: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are backed by drummer Steve Jordan and hit Chicago on their 16-city North American tour. Hear classics and new cuts from their latest album “Hackney Diamonds.” Visceral Dance Chicago performs Gustavo Ramírez Sansano’s “Carmen.maquia,” a take on Bizet’s opera. Inspired in part by Pablo Picasso’s paintings, the choreography blends contemporary dance with the paso doble and flamenco.
