CHICAGO – Pride in the Park Chicago, one of the largest LGBTQ outdoor music festivals in the nation, with much-anticipated performances by The Chainsmokers, Alesso, Shea Couleé, Monet X Change, Daya, and more – announces that the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana is proudly sponsoring Pride in the Park once again on June 25th and 26th.
Welcoming over 30,000 festival-goers last year alone, incredible sponsors like Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana proudly show how they are supporting queer lives at every level.
The partnership between Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana and Pride in the Park Chicago is a natural pairing. The original Hard Rock started 51 years ago, featuring music and memorabilia from rock’s greatest artists. Pride in the Park Chicago features a lineup of 30 of the best queer and ally artists. Pride in the Park Chicago and Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana are immersive music experiences for visitors. -Spokesperson for Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana
Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana understands the importance of community through love, music, and community. The commitment to LGBTQ events and queer culture is paramount to ensure members of the community are supported, seen, heard, and loved. Additionally, they will be hosting RuPaul’s Werq the World Tour on August 12.
We feel the love and continuous support from the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana family. Many people state they are supporters and allies of the community – of our culture and expressions of art, music, and more. They proudly state they are for us and by our side with financial support to ensure our artists and staff are equitably paid and given the opportunities they have earned. We thank them for this once again. -Dusty Carpenter, Pride in the Park Chicago Lead Organizer
