Tinley Park, IL – June 16, 2025 – This Saturday, Soundgrowler Brewing Co. and the Streetz Artz Alliance invite the community to a bold celebration of creativity and identity at the Second Annual Pride Market. From 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., more than 40 LGBTQ+ artists, allies, and makers will take over the brewery and patio for a free, family-friendly event that’s equal parts art fair, craft beer hangout, and Pride Month celebration.

Located at 8201 183rd St Suite P, Tinley Park, IL, the event is rain or shine and open to all ages.

“This is our second Pride Market of the month, and I’m so excited to bring the good vibes back to Soundgrowler,” said event organizer John Streetz. “If you caught us in Bloomingdale, expect a fresh lineup here. And if this is your first—come ready to sip, shop, and celebrate.”

Soundgrowler will be pouring favorites like Tortilla Hands, a crisp 5.0% Mexican-style lager, and Orange Haze, a juicy 7.0% West Coast Hazy IPA. Their full craft beverage menu will be available alongside their legendary street tacos, including meat-forward and plant-based options served fresh from the kitchen.

Featured Artists

This year’s logo was designed by Libby McArthur Art, a Mokena-based ink artist and teacher known for her bold skull illustrations. Her original work, prints, and Pride-forward pieces will be available at the event.

“This market is something special,” said Brianne Adelman, artist and owner of FrankenWerks Studios, who is also helping with event logistics. “Nothing beats slinging my art in a space that’s all about bold creativity, genuine community vibes, and unapologetic self-expression. Feeling lucky to stand alongside fellow LGBTQ+ makers and allies—this is what it’s all about.” Adelman will be selling handmade BooBrigade ghost sculptures, magnets, jewelry, and keychains.
