They Beach @ Hollywood Beach

  • Hollywood Beach 5800 North Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL, 60660 United States (map)

We’ve hit the 80 degree days and that means it’s time for the They’s!!

Where: Hollywood Beach

When: Saturday May 31st

3:00 PM - sunset

Pack your cute suits, and sunscreen for the shores of Lake Michigan. There will be fun music, friends and trans/nonbinary/polyamory flags marking our spot! They Beach will always be held next to the ramp and access boardwalk in front of the beach house so anyone can come enjoy the queer festivities. 

They Beach only exists if you do. They Beach is a community movement that tranifests a safe, inclusive space for trans, enby, and queer folx to gather, connect, and have fun in the city. This can exist everywhere through collective action! (Shoutout to our sibling organization @theybeachdetroit ) Safe spaces are created actively, not passively. Be part of the movement by holding this safe trans space. That includes no tolerance for hate, misgendering, or any behavior that harms another. This is a gender diverse/gender queer space that is unwavering in the conviction that Black Trans Lives Matter. (Allys are welcome too, but please be mindful of the space you hold)

We encourage the community to take care of one another! Watch out for your queer/trans fam! Bring an extra blanket or water bottle, share your sunscreen or shade, say hello to your neighbor.

This is a public beach space open to anyone and everyone. Please respect your surroundings accordingly.

Covid precautions:

-please stay home if you feel sick in any way

-we encourage everyone to test before they come

-encourage masks (we will have masks available)

Major gratitude to the one and only @nickblanzy for their badass design work! They’ve supported us with volunteer design for years now and we couldn’t do it without them!
