This will be the 97th year for one of Chicago’s greatest summer traditions! 🙌🏿 The Bud Billiken Parade is considered the country's second largest parade (after the Rose Bowl), and is described by the event as the largest and oldest African American parade in the U.S. Full of dance teams, marching bands, floats, and fun, the purpose of the parade is to celebrate youth, education and African American life. And of course... Chicago! 📺 If you can't make it, the parade will be broadcast live on ABC7 Chicago from 10am to noon. 📅 8/8, 10am-4pm 📍 MLK Drive, traveling south from 39th St. to 51st St. #NeverOutdoneChi #Bronzeville #BudBillikenParade
