Join Lighthouse Foundation of Chicagoland for the second annual Black LGBTQ+ Beach Day, a vibrant summer celebration of joy, visibility, and community for Black LGBTQ+ individuals across Chicagoland! After a powerful inaugural event in 2024 with over 400 attendees, we’re returning in 2025 with an even bigger and more impactful experience.

Black LGBTQ+ Beach Day is more than a Pride event—it’s a space to reclaim joy, connect with community, and access vital resources in an affirming, celebratory environment. Expect a full day of music, games, food, wellness activations, and cultural connection—all designed to uplift and empower Black LGBTQ+ lives.

Whether you’re joining us to celebrate or support, Black LGBTQ+ Beach Day 2025 is a powerful expression of community care, resilience, and joy.
