Since 1947, children of all ages have delighted in one of western suburbs most treasured events — America’s Original Pet Parade! This colorful, crowd-pleasing event is sponsored by Pet Parade Charities, and is truly one of a kind. We hope that you will join us to witness the pageantry. From children showcasing their pets, to marching bands, floats, and entertainment groups, the Pet Parade provides wholesome fun and entertainment for the entire family!
