Chicago, IL - Carrying signs, banners and bullhorns, more than 1,000 people filled the streets of Uptown June 29 for the city's annual Dyke March parade and rally.

Attendance and spirits were high despite overcast skies and chilly weather early in the march.

The march was the second held in Uptown, as the event travels to a new neighborhood every two years.

The March stepped off from Margate Park and moved west on Argyle, turning south onto Sheridan and then west onto Lawrence. It looped back on Broadway and concluded along Argyle, home to dozens of East Asian businesses.
