10am for Gathering and Decorating
11am Parade Starts
Ride (march on wheels) with Chicago Hyde Park Village in our Trolley! Since our founding, CHPV has joined this annual 4th of July parade. It's a fun way to celebrate our values and community. Everyone is welcome.
To ride in CHPV's trolley, please confirm with Susan Alitto
(salitto@gmail.com; 773-485-3643).
Meet at CHPV's trolley parked along South Lake Park Avenue just south of 54th Street.
The trolley will launch for the parade from a parking space on South Lake Park Avenue just south of 54th St. We expect it to be there by 10am ready for decorating. We'll have banners, streamers and other decorations. The parade will launch at 11. We don't know where we will be in the lineup but we've asked for an early spot.
Please plan to arrive at the trolley no later than 10:30. If it's raining, at least it will be dry on the trolley! You are also welcome to walk beside the trolley. There may be opportunities to hop on or off the trolley.
Getting There:
- If approaching from east north and south, enter from 53rd or 55th and Lake Park.
- If approaching from west, enter from 54th Street or the north end of the Hyde Park Shopping Center Parking lot.
- If you arrive by car, you might seek a space along 54th St between Kenwood/Nichols Park and South Lake Park Ave., which will be between the parade’s launch and end locations.
The parade will end approximately at noon at the 53rd Street entrance to Nichols Park, north of Murray School. 53rd Street should be open heading west from this point and will reopen in both directions to all traffic after the parade.
We expect this will be Chicago's biggest and best neighborhood parade!
