The most-attended outdoor women's and queer party during Chicago Pride weekend returns to Andersonville. Set behind Cheetah Gym near Clark Street, Back Lot Bash features DJs, live music, and an outdoor festival atmosphere across two days. Doors open at 3 PM both days. Historically one of the few large-scale events centering women and queer community during Pride, it draws a loyal crowd from across the Midwest.
