Several 4th of July parades and events are happening across Chicago Tuesday and in the suburbs.
In his first parade as mayor, Mayor Brandon Johnson will be there and marching in the 4th on 53rd Parade. It started at the Hyde Park Bank from 55th to 53rd streets.
There was also a bike brigade featuring decorated bicycles, strollers and wagons, and an appearance by Cowboys on Horseback, a thrill for some first-time parade-goers. People cheered as the patriotic floats and marching bands went by. One of the greatest gifts, people say on this holiday, is the quality time with family and friends."We've been bringing the kids here every year since they were infants," Erin Robinson said. Arlington Heights is a great parade because there's so many high schools in the area, so I think there's five different marching bands that come through. It's a great activity.
Live music, local food and fireworks will make for a special night at Bolingbrook Golf Club, with thousands expected to attend. Their parade will travel along Central Street and fireworks will cap the evening along the lakefront.
