(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Here are the latest Chicago area events happening this weekend, including two key Pride events celebrating the LGBTQ community.

--The Chicago Pride Parade returns to the streets of Uptown and Lakeview Sunday afternoon. The event, which typically brings more than a million spectators, steps off at noon at Montrose Avenue and Broadway. It then winds its way through the city’s North Side, ending in Lincoln Park.

--Head to Grant Park for the annual outdoor music festival, Pride in the Park. The two-day event features more than a dozen LGBTQ+ performers and artists. This year’s incredible all-star lineup includes Zedd, Saweetie and DJ Lady D.

--You’ll find more dance-able beats during the Chicago House Music Festival. Explore an iconic music genre in the city where it was born. The free event takes place Saturday at the Humboldt Park Boathouse Lawn.

--Another neighborhood favorite is back. The Logan Square Arts Festival celebrates local art, food, beer and music all weekend long. This year's lineup includes headliners Duster, Sextile and Global Currency.

--Go as bare as you dare during the 20th annual World Naked Bike Ride Chicago. Cyclists will take a 14-mile ride throughout the city promoting body positivity and independence from fossil fuel. Just keep in mind that full-frontal nudity is illegal in Chicago.

--And nothing’s sweeter in the summertime than the Long Grove Strawberry Festival. The decades-old tradition includes three days of strawberry-infused foods and drinks, family games and live music.
