Chi-Town Squares at the Chicago Pride Parade!

Thank you to everyone who came out in the hot, humid weather and made Chi-Town Squares’ participation in this year’s Pride Parade - Sunday June 29, 2025 - a big success!

Stay tuned for pics and videos, and take care!

Parade media from 2005, 2022, 2023 and 2024!

Here is a snippet with us from ABC 7's live stream of the entire (2023 - it’s our best video) parade, which is available here.

CLUB SHIRTS

The Chi-Town Squares club uniform has been updated to a cotton polo shirt, in one of the six colors of the Chi-Town Squares logo pictured below, worn with black jeans/pants! Shirt orders are taken at all regular Chi-Town Squares dances, and we generally send in the orders to the shirt company once each season of the year!

New Payment Option: Zelle!

For those who prefer, here you can renew membership, pay the registration fee for Crossfire or other items, or even make a donation to keep the club kickin’ for another year, via Zelle!

If you have a Zelle account/app simply scan the QR code above to connect with Chi-Town Squares Zelle account at treasurer.chitownsquares@gmail.com and send us money! Be sure to put in the memo details of what you are paying for (Crossfire, merchandise, membership renewal, etc.)

Fly-Ins!

Here we are passing along to those interested the current omnibus PDF from Gordon Macaw from the All Join Hands Foundation. These contain flyers for fly-ins, conventions and other national and international square dance organization content. Because we live in a complicated world, please contact the specific poster/organization for each event/posting, for the most up-to-information about registrations, re-schedulings and cancellations:
