Post- Parade Activities:
In addition to vendor tents and children’s activities like face painting and games, post-parade festivities will also feature pavilions that represent “The Legacy” – partners will be providing on-site services, products and opportunities like mini hiring fairs, school supplies, blood pressure checks, Zumba in the Park, etc.
The park activities will resemble a reunion as we ask everyone to get “Back to Bud” and will include '80s & '90s Music in the Park with Chicago's hottest DJs, along with game trucks, food trucks and other food providers.
