The Event
The Rainbow Boogie is an annual skydiving event that attracts gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered skydivers and spectators, as well as straight skydivers who enjoy skydiving with the GLBT community! The 2012 event was held at Skydive Chicago over Labor Day Weekend and drew participants from across the world. .
The first Rainbow Boogie in 2006 was held at NouvelAir near Montreal. After a brief hiatus, the boogie returned in 2009 to Cross Keys in help thanks to the growing global social networking community. The Rainbow Skydivers group on Facebook has grown to over 300 skydivers spanning numerous countries and seeks to promote skydiving as a sport that is inclusive to all.
