On June 14, Shedd Aquarium—with help from A Queer Pride—threw a Pride celebration stuffed full of dance music, drag queens, educational chats, special food offerings and cheer.
The event marked the fifth anniversary of the aquariums’ first Pride celebration by welcoming guests to a leisurely evening featuring DJ Miss Toto spinning beats in the Great Hall; drag performances with a seafaring theme from Kitty Banks, Pepper John and Serena Fiierce among others; educational chats on sharks, penguins, and kelp forests; and a viewing of fireworks at Navy Pier from the lakefront terrace.
