Yes, it's cold in Chicago, but get a load of all the nice people in Boystown to keep you warm.
NYE at Sidetrack in Chicago's Boystown will feature a Ketel One Ice Luge Drink Station, live performances, fabulous drag, games, and Light Bites from Chubby Wieners. Doors open at 7:00 p.m, and the party goes till 2 a.m. New this year: Don't miss their Chicago Drag Showcase from 8-10 p.m., starring Dixie Lynn Cartwright, DiDa Ritz, Saya Naomi, Alex Kay, and Jasmine Phoenix. At 10 p.m. the party really heats up with our sexy New Year's Eve dancers, NYE party favors, a spectacular balloon drop, and champagne toast at midnight served by Sidetrack's traditional "Baby New Years" up on the bar plus a dazzling NYE light show, and dancing till 2 a.m.! Whew!
Get your $30 Advance Sale Tickets today, benefiting The Legacy Project. A limited amount of tickets will be available at the door for $35, but this party traditionally sells-out.
Make plans to join them Tuesday, January 1, for their annual all-day One One Onesie Party! There is clearly no more fun place to celebrate NYE, Halloween, Pride, Valetine's Day, Christmas, and Flag Day than Sidetrack. We love that they always send us great event photos. And we really love that they are a community meeting place of all types of people. These photos are from several of their NYE parties in the past few years -- all consistently fun.
