Only 1 sound system left for the 2023 Chicago Pride Parade

We own and rent Honda generators

Chicago Pride is Sunday June 25, 2023 and Bud Biliken is Saturday August 12, 2023

Sidetrack. Rush Hospital and Veterinary Specialty Center 

have already contracted us for 2023!

We've been rocking the Chicagoland Pride Parade annually for the past 10 years! We only have one more slot for this year.

2022 was our first year for Bud Biliken . . .

Due to parade logistics and over 1,000,000 parade guests,  

we can only get around to service four floats this year.

We supplied great sound and generators last year for 

Sidetrack, Rush Hospital, and 

Veterinary Specialty Center 

and they have all resigned for 2023
