Out In The Park

Short Lines. Big Vibes. All for a Good Cause.

Experience Six Flags Great America like never before! Join Best Gay Chicago for an exclusive, private-capacity night where the crowds are gone and the park is ours. Celebrate diversity, enjoy the rides, and help us give back to the community.

Why You Can’t Miss It

  • Exclusive Access: While the park usually sees 20,000 guests, this private event is capped at just 5,500 tickets. That means more time on the coasters and less time in line!
  • Party for a Purpose: A portion of all proceeds benefits PRIDEChicago, the all-volunteer team behind the iconic Chicago Pride Parade.
  • All Ages Welcome: A celebration for the whole community. (Alcohol available for purchase for guests 21+)
  • Free Parking: Your ticket includes parking—no hidden fees at the gate.

Event Schedule & Details

  • When: Saturday, September 12, 2026

  • Time: 7:30 PM – 12:00 AM

  • Pro Tip: Gates often open a little early! Arrive ahead of time to maximize your night. The parking lot is the perfect spot for a “pre-party” with your crew before we head inside.

  • Note on Park Entry: This is a private “buy-out” event. Season Passes are not valid. You must have a specific Out In The Park ticket to enter.

The Early Bird ticket price is $48 and includes taxes and parking.
