The Pride celebration also will include a pregame performance by the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus at Gallagher Way. They will also sing the national anthem. The 7th inning stretch will be performed by chef Art Smith.

TikTok stars Adam Motz and Tee Lam of "2 Dads 2 Twins" will throw out the first pitch. 

The LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Illinois will host a Pride Market featuring LGBTQ+ businesses on Gallagher Way.

All fans can also get free face painting.
