The second annual Chicago Leather Pride Weekend (CLPW) took place at the Leather Archives & Museum (LA&M), 6428 N. Greenview Ave. and various bars on the North Side the weekend of May 1-3.
The celebratory weekend kicked off again this year at Barrelman Tavern, 6001 N. Paulina St., where the CLPW March down Clark Street began, then made its way to Whiskey Girl Tavern, 6318 N. Clark St., and Jackhammer, 6406 N. Clark St., before ending at the LA&M for an opening reception.
The proceeds of the event will go to support the LA&M, which will close after this year’s International Mr. Leather (IML) Weekend festivities in late May and undergo a year-long renovation.
The weekend also included events such as Leather Jeopardy, a figure drawing class and the Leather Follies talent show.
