Boys' Town is the most common designation for the concentrated stretch along Halsted Avenue (also dubbed "Northalsted") running north from Diversey to Irving Park and spilling over onto Clark Street and Broadway Avenue. The Pride Parade is held here annually. < The colorful rainbow pageantry symbolizing diversity and "Pride" decks everything in Boys' Town, especially during the yearly parade.
