SUMMARY:Out in the Park 2026
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an incredible night as BestGayChicago hosts Out in the Park\, the annual private LGBTQ+ buyout event at Six Flags Great America! Taking place on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026\, from 7:30 PM to Midnight\, this exclusive event opens up the entire park to celebrate diversity\, community\, and fun under the stars. \nAttendance is strictly capped at 5\,500 guests—a fraction of the park’s usual capacity—meaning virtually zero wait times\, short lines\, and maximum time on your favorite thrill rides. The all-ages event features multiple live DJs stationed throughout the park\, drink options for guests 21 and older\, and a welcoming atmosphere for all. Even better\, a portion of all ticket proceeds directly supports PRIDEChicago and the Chicago Pride Parade. \nAdvance tickets are $48\, which includes full admission tax and free parking. Ticket prices increase to $53 on September 7th and will be $58 at the gate if any remain available. Please note that because this is a private buyout event\, regular Six Flags Season Passes and general admission passes are not valid for entry. Secure your tickets early using promo code OUTCHI on the official Six Flags website before the event sells out.
