IML 2026 Event Schedule

DADS DEN: CIGAR SOCIAL is your chance to slow it down and enjoy good cigars, strong drinks, and even stronger company during IML weekend.
Step into a night where pheromones rule—where attraction, dominance, and instinct are amplified in every glance, every touch, every breath. No filters. No cover-ups. Just raw heat, musk, and the unspoken language of the body.
GRRRab your denim, leather, rubber or whatever kinks it up for you because Chicago's Best Bear Night is gearing up to give a great BIG bear hug to our IML guests at GRRR: Leather Bear on Friday, May 22nd, starting at 9pm.
HEAT IS RAW, PHYSICAL, AND UNAPOLOGETIC—NO COOL DOWN, NO DISTRACTIONS, JUST PRESSURE, MOVEMENT, AND ENERGY UNTIL SUNRISE.
DILF—Chicago's biggest, monthly party for men 35+ and the guys who want them—is gearing up for the return of our annual DILF IML Memorial Day Weekend Leather Daddy Fest on Saturday, May 23rd, starting at 9pm.
Enter the dark. Tighten the restraints. PRIMAL is a BDSM-inspired dance party where instinct rules and inhibition is left shackled at the door.
Sunday Funday Just Got BIGGER! Join us for a special daytime edition of the beloved Belly Up party—celebrating big bellies, bold energy, and beautiful bodies in the Sunday sun.
