Celebrate Pride with Hotbox.
Built by the minds behind Doggpound, Hotbox is a community focused house music experience dedicated to connection, creativity, and culture. A place where friends gather, artists share their sound, and the music carries the day from start to finish.
For Pride, we’re taking over one of Chicago’s best outdoor patios with a front row view of the parade. Expect a full day of house music, good company, and an atmosphere designed to bring people together.
Featuring music from:
- Avi Sic
- Doggpound
- DJ GayBash
- Miss Toto

Whether you’re stopping by after the parade, meeting up with friends, or settling in for the entire day, Hotbox Pride is a space to celebrate community, self expression, and the joy of being together.
Come connect.
