What float featurs the loudest and clearest at the Chicago Pride Parade every year?
The answer is SIDETRACKS the Video Bar. For the past 10 years, our team supplies the 133db sound that rocks the parade. Our JBL Venue Performance speakers powered by our Honda 6.5 Kw generator makes sure you can hear their float driving down the street. Northshore and Sidetracks have won best sound and best float at this parade for numerous years.
