Red dresses and fun in the Sun- August event roundup

August starts with a bang with the largest party in Europe. This is the best way to experience the beauty and energy of Barcelona. This festival spans a week and takes over the entire city. Featuring a legendary DJ lineup and dozens of wild parties entice crowds of thousands from all over the world. 

Established in 1978, this is one of P-town’s original parties. Attracting tens of thousands of guests, this is one of the most anticipated events of the year. Get ready for galas, cruises, a 5K fun run, and a costume contest. Not to mention pool parties and a disco!

This legendary festival has been providing a vibrant and safe space to party since 1982. Every year, the Boystown neighborhood welcomes over 300,000 visitors, transforming the streets into an endless party zone. North Halsted will be lined with vendors, stages, and incredible food. 

Get dolled up and hoof it for charity! This is one of the most unique “running” events, considering it’s more of a moving party than a race. Decked out in red, runners take to the streets with drinks in hand. The keg gets tapped at 9 AM!

Connecting deeply with the land, other people, and creating art are the pillars that uphold this inspiring event. Lose yourself in the woods for a week and allow your nervous system to reset. Get ready to meet incredible people while dancing under a canopy of stars and branches.
