EDGE Chicago

There are rain dances and sun dances and dances of sheer exultation - and every kind of dance was on display for Divers/Cité’s 20th birthday party in Vieux Montreal.

One of the world’s largest Pride celebrations with an estimated attendance of 1.2 million people, Toronto Pride’s ten-day Pride Week includes a three-day street festival, with nearly 300 entertainers performing on seven stages, as well as the Parade.

Prism Festival’s Bootcamp featured DJs Hector Fonseca and Tony Moran and a performance by Erika Jayne as the military-themed event kicked off the final Friday night of Toronto Pride, one of the world’s largest Pride celebrations.

The crowd at the Vic on Sheffield enjoyed top acts like the Scissor Sisters and its openly gay lead singer Jake Shear. Later, across the street at Berlin Nightclub, the band’s DJ, along with Jake, and Rapper Rye Rye, showed up.

The forty third annual Chicago Pride Parade attracted a record number of attendees who came out to enjoy all of the festivities. EDGE has the pics.

For two days Halsted Street enjoyed Pride Fest with a variety of booth vendors selling food, drinks, and novelties. Entertainment included pop singer Jojo, and Weather girl Martha Wash whose booming voice proclaimed that "It’s Raining Men" in Chitown.

Are there any words more beautiful than truffle mac-n-cheese? If, for some silly reason (such as a diet), you missed this year’s Garden Party, here are the photos from the largest LGBT food festival in the States.

Once the Gay Pride Parade wrapped up, the crowds moved to Palm Springs’ Arenas Road, where they packed Spurline, Rainbow Bar & Grill, Hunters, and Streetbar. Check out the photos!

The weather was cool, but that didn’t even make a dent in the joy of the annual Gay Pride parade in Palm Springs this weekend. EDGE was on the scene!

Featuring performances by Raja Gemini, Lady Tigra and Simon Curtis, the Arenas Road block party was a wild affair, hosted by Billy Francesca and DJ*B. Check out the pics!
