Bud Billiken Parade

Touted as the largest Black parade, the 96th annual Bud Billiken Parade will march through Bronzeville this weekend. Led by this year’s grand marshal, “Chicago P.D.” star and Harvey native LaRoyce Hawkins, the two-mile parade features more than 200 bands, dance teams and performers from across the country. After the parade, check out the It Takes a Village Back to School Festival in Washington Park, featuring free hairstyling, health screenings and live performances. Bud Billiken events support $25,000 in scholarships and thousands of free school supplies.
