Get High on Pride with Gigli THC-Infused Beverages: Meet Us This Month at the Chicago and Twin Cities Pride Festivals
Jim Gladstone READ TIME: 4 MIN. SPONSORED
From broad-shouldered Chicago bears to Twin Cities twinks, the midwest's queer community is high on Pride this month, and Gigli THC-infused beverages are tickled pink to be a part of the festivities.
Gigli is an official sponsor of Chicago's 24th annual Pride Fest, June 21st and 22, and the Twin Cities Pride Festival and Parade, June 28 and 29.
Created by proud Minneapolitans, Gigli (pronounced "giggly") is the perfect potion to celebrate with: It's alcohol free, low in calories, hydrating, refreshing, and fueled by natural cannabis-derived THC.
Every Gigli cocktail is infused with 10mg of THC, the same amount you'll find in many of the most popular gummies. But unlike edibles, Gigli lets you control your roll:
Sip it slow for a mellow glow as you wave to friends and allies in the parade, or shotgun a cold one to get that Pride party started.
Time to Get Gigli in the Windy City
This year's festivities on North Halsted Street in Chicago include a performance by dance music diva Deborah Cox, a Black Girl Magic drag spectacular by Shea Coulee and local shero The Vixen, and dozens more acts on three stages.
Gigli is there for it! Be sure to stop by our canna-booth, where our we'll be serving up samples, exclusive swag, and you can smile and say "Gigli" for a free novelty snapshot.
Throughout the weekend, you'll also find Gigli cocktails at favorite nearby queer bars Bobby Love's and Cell Block (where we'll also have free samples to share). So, catch a sunny summer buzz with a Gigli Pineapple Mojito, Blueberry Lemonade cocktail, or any of our other all-natural flavors, made with real fruit juices.
We're Queer for Minneapolis and St. Paul
Gigli's going all out for our hometown crowd, shaking our cans and serving up bubbles at parties galore. We'll also have our own contingent marching in the parade, so be sure to say "High!"
The pre-gaming begins at the Saloon Minneapolis' Block Party, where the dance floor starts heating up on Friday, June 27 and doesn't let up until Sunday night. Take a break from the boogie or refuel for more in the Gigli THC Lounge.
Stop by and check out the new Gigli artwork at The Gay 90s, Minneapolis' #1 dance club, where we're the official THC sponsor, available at the bar all-year round.
Gigli will also be hosting the Cannabis Garden, an exciting new outdoor lounge and vendor space at the weekend-long festival in Loring Park. Look for the lime green tents by the Stonewall Stage, where an array of fabulous performances will take place. You'll find Gigli cocktails along with a range of other cannabis consumables. But there's no smoking: We're all about a healthier high!
(In fact, Gigli's Blood Orange Margarita, Raspberry Ginger Mule, and other refreshing cocktail flavors all get an extra boost of herbal health from ashwagandha and ginseng extracts).
On Sunday the 29th, Gigli will be the guest of honor at two amazing parade-watch parties at two of downtown Minneapolis' favorite restaurants, Crave and Union Rooftop, and then a post-parade afterparty at another spectacular eatery, The Butcher's Tale.
