Aurora holds fourth-annual Pride Parade in downtown

AURORA, Ill. (WLS) -- Aurora's fourth annual Pride Parade was held Sunday.

The parade began at noon at Benton Street and Broadway in downtown Aurora. It concluded at West Downer Place and Middle Avenue.

There was concern earlier this year that the parade would not happen.

However, last month, a federal judge blocked enforcement of part of the city's special events ordinance after the parade was nearly canceled last year.

The city of Aurora said it's been working for months to plan a safe and successful event, and that it will be staffed with an adequate number of police officers.
