WHY SPONSOR?

Sponsor the Pet Parade! This annual tradition is one of the most talked about parades of Chicagoland. It draws tens of thousands of people to the area. The Pet Parade provides fun and entertainment for the entire family!

To participate, businesses are asked to sponsor the parade. This support off-sets the payments given to paid acts like Shriner’s groups and Jesse White Tumblers who ask for a performance fee. Remember to bring entertainment value for the crowd! Ideas: bring a mascot, dress up in a theme, bring a decorated flatbed playing music, perform a dance routine or cheer.

Thank you to our 2026 Sponsors!
