Bigger, better and a little different is the word for this year's Buffalo Grove Pride Parade taking place Sunday morning, June 4. The Pinta Pride Project has been the organizer of the parade, becoming one of the more notable Pride parades not only in the Northwest suburbs, but all of the Chicago area. 'More than anything, with the attacks on the LGBTQ+ community from some legislators, we need to go out and make our voices heard from the Illinois community,' parade organizer Carolyn Pinta said. The parade started in 2019 when Molly Pinta, at age 13, started the parade complementing her Pinta Pride Project to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.
