If you are out and about in the city today and looking for something to do, you can always head to the City of Chicago’s Memorial Day Parade, stepping off at Noon along Columbus Drive.
The Chicago parade is considered one of the largest Memorial Day parades in the nation. Since 1870, Memorial Day parades have graced the streets of Chicago.
The City of Chicago honors all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country, and will include recognition of the Illinois Gold Star Families during the Commemoration. Since September 11, 2001, many residents of Illinois have died serving their country and this includes the attack on the Pentagon and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Participants in this years parade include area high school Marching Bands, Drum and Bugle Corps as well as many Veterans groups, JROTC and the military.
