Dive Into Pride: Gods and Goddesses Party at InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile
InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile invites you to plunge into summer’s most anticipated LGBTQ celebration: the third-annual DIVE Into PRIDE: Gods and Goddesses Pool Party. On Saturday, June 7 2025, the hotel’s landmark 1929 junior Olympic swimming pool—famed for its blue Spanish tiles and gilded Neptune fountain—transforms into a late-night playground of drag, dance, and mythic glamour.
Headlining the evening is Chicago nightlife icon and RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Naysha Lopez, supported by her Pit Crew. A live DJ supplies nonstop house and pop while surprise drag numbers erupt pool-side throughout the night. Guests are encouraged to channel Olympus with draped silks, metallic accents, laurel leaves, and statement jewelry, though every outfit, body, and gender expression is welcome.
Your ticket includes unlimited access to an open canned-cocktail bar featuring signature mixes curated by beverage sponsors Absolut and Beam Suntory; zero-proof options are also available. Supporting sponsor The Men’s Room will add extra Pride-themed flair and photo-worthy activations on deck. Want more space to lounge? Reserve a private cabana (limited quantity) that seats up to six and comes with dedicated pool-level seating plus a fast-lane bar line.
