Watch for CPL staff in the 88th annual Bud Billiken Parade on Saturday, August 12. We'll join Chicago residents and neighborhood groups on the parade route along Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard to emphasize the importance of education as children return to school.
The iconic back-to-school parade has highlighted the significance of education since 1929 by encouraging students to read and study, and supporting parents and teachers.
Learn more about the parade with these books about the Bud Billiken Parade and its history.
We'd love to see you there!
