The Pride parade usually starts at a designated staging point that depends on the city. For example, recent Pride routes included Chicago starting at Grace Street and Broadway, Seattle starting at Westlake Park, Dublin starting outside the GPO on O’Connell Street, San Francisco starting at Market & Beale, and London starting at Hyde Park Corner.

What to check

  • The city name, since “Pride parade” is not one single event.
  • The official parade route or event notice, because start points vary by location and year.
  • The start time, which is often around late morning or midday for many major parades.

Examples

  • Chicago: Grace Street and Broadway.
  • Seattle: Westlake Park.
  • Dublin: outside the GPO on O’Connell Street.
  • San Francisco: Market & Beale.
  • London: Hyde Park Corner.

If you mean a specific city’s Pride parade, the start location can be narrowed down immediately from that city’s route notice.
