FAQ

Please email us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes! We always have our fingers crossed for perfect weather, but the parade does take place rain or shine - although not if there are active thunderstorms.


Nichols Park is a Chicago Park District property, and the CPD requires that any vendors in the park  must apply to the Park District’s concessions program with the required permits, licensing, and insurance. The 4th on 53rd's Free Festival does not sell any food or drinks for this reason.


This is the parade where "everyone marches" - we do prefer if you sign up ahead of time, but will also welcome you if you show up that day. Groups organize in the Hyde Park Bank parking lot no later than 10:30 a.m., so please find your place in the lineup there.
