The oldest black parade in Chicago. When you start hearing that The Bud Billiken Parade is drawing near, that "kinda" means summer is ending and it's time to school to start. Tomorrow the parade with be broadcast LIVE from ABC Channel 7 and the line-up is epic AGAIN!!!!!!
Chicago's very own Grammy-nominated R&B singer and producer Jeremih will be honored as the 2022 Bud Billiken Parade grand marshal and will perform in front of his hometown fans. Formerly known as Jeremy Felton, Jeremih is a proud Morgan Park High School and CPS alumnus. Jeremih plans to donate hundreds of books and school supplies in support of CPS schools and said, "I am excited and honored to pay homage to the legacy of the Bud Billiken parade, which is a huge part of my childhood."
I'm looking forward to watching The Hyde Park Drill Team perform and so many dance team and their outfits...
