Chicago’s premier adult house music excursion is back and bigger than ever. House Club Tours (HCT), LLC presents the Beach Crawl on Wednesday July 8, 2026 — a full evening of live house music, lakefront culture, and community impact across six iconic South Side venues.
Running from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the Beach Crawl brings together 21 world-class DJs, four live performers, and thousands of Chicago house music lovers for seven hours of non-stop music on the lake. Dedicated shuttle buses run continuously between all six venues from 4:00 PM to 9:30 PM, giving attendees the freedom to move freely through the night. Guests are encouraged to start at any beach and bring a chair, blanket, or swimsuit.
Headlining the live entertainment is Chicago house music legend Opal Staples, performing her brand new single “Let’s Do It Again” live on the lakefront.
This year’s Beach Crawl carries added significance. Cooler summer temperatures have hit South Side lakefront small businesses hard, cutting into the foot traffic they depend on. HCT co-founders Dana Divine and Ronda Flowers built this event as a direct response — routing thousands of attendees through six local establishments in a single night and putting real economic energy back into the neighborhood.
Participating venues include Waves Juice Bar and Grill, Norman’s Bistro on the Lake, NAFSI Restaurant, Reggies on the Beach, Truth on the Beach, and Pier 31 on 31st Street — all along Chicago’s South Side lakefront.
Tickets are available at HouseClubTours.com and BeachCrawlHCT.eventbrite.com.
