Pride informational packets with updated rules for parade registration were mailed out by PRIDEChicago ( parade organizers ) , in early March. A second updated version with parade lineup, step off and safety information, and a copy of the preliminary Pride Month calendar of events was sent out in early May to PRIDEChicago's mailing list.
The packets also contain information about adding an event to the June Pride Month Calendar; about placing an ad in the Pride Guide; and about sponsoring portable restrooms along the lineup street and route.
The artwork for this year's Pride button was done by Jesse Martinez, Jr., who also did last year's button as well as other past designs for NAMA ( Northalsted merchants ) . Buttons with the logo will be available at several local outlets at the end of May.
