Bullsfest - Chicago!

Aug 23 & 24th, 2025 - Hoopbus and the Chicago family showed out for Bullsfest 2025. Closing out the summer in-style, Hoopbus activated outside of the United Center with two days of non-stop hoops as part of a programmed station for the Chicago Bulls’ summer fan fest. The team was led by Chicago captain, Naudgee Carpenter (aka Da.BusDriver) and veteran “does-it-all” host and producer Tyler Thompson. Alongside a crew of talented local hoopers, team Hoopbus spent the weekend setting up games, entertaining the fans, hosting shooting contests and giveaways and working with Footlocker to lace up the community. To top it off, our friends at the Bulls brought a few Chicago legends including Eddy Curry and Horace Grant to earn their bus passes and sign their names into the Hoopbus Hall of Fame.

See a few of our favorite photos and moments of an unforgettable weekend in the windy city.
