"It's been more than a year, but this summer, live music and meaningful, safe ways to connect with our chosen friends and family is coming back. We are very pleased to meet state guidelines and working with the City of Chicago and Chicago Park District to make this event happen” Dusty Carpenter, president and lead organizer of Pride in the Park Chicago, said in a statement.
Organizers said they are following "a prudent health and safety plan that follows the strict yet sensible 'Restore Illinois Plan.'" Capacity limitations are expected to be in place, but among the safety protocols currently in store are a requirement that attendees be vaccinated or have a negative COVID test within three days of the event, that all attendees wear masks when not eating or drinking, that all guests and staff complete a "health pass."
