CPT in the 2025 Pride Parade!

CPT IS BACK IN THE PRIDE PARADE!

There are still many details to work out, but we are excited to have an entry in the 2025 parade. 

We have rented a trolley that seats 34, and some are still available. We also can have many walkers on the parade route who can be flag bearers, or carry our vintage banner, or serve as monitors.

We are asking people to to pay $20 to participate as a walker or rider, and will include a new CPT tee shirt. The shirts are 100% cotton and are not pre-shrunk, so increase the size up on from what you would normally wear, for comfort.

Last year some people met at the Open Space Arts location on Wilson and Clark and rode the trolley to the parade location. Others joined the group once the trolley was in the correct position, which last year was Broadway and Sheridan, by Gill Park. Last year, some left the route on Cannon Drive south of Diversey, and others rode the trolley back north to get dropped of at the Wilson Red Line stop, or the Uptown Tap Room for lunch.

If you would like to make an additional donation to help defray the costs, you can do that here.
