As Pride Month approaches, DuPage County is gearing up for a series of vibrant, inclusive, and family-friendly celebrations that honor the LGBTQIA+ community. From lively festivals to community gatherings to low-key storytimes, these events offer opportunities for families, friends, and allies to come together in support of diversity, love, and inclusion, which are themes everyone can get behind.
