Parade Application

Every September, hundreds of thousands of neighbors, families, and visitors line 26th Street to celebrate the Annual 26th Street Mexican Independence Day Parade — one of the largest parades in the Midwest. In 2026, we're celebrating "United We Ride, Stronger Than Ever," and we're inviting businesses, organizations, and community partners to march with us.

Whether you're looking to sponsor a float, set up a vendor space, or simply walk in solidarity with the community that keeps Little Village strong, this is your moment to be part of something bigger. Download the application below for full participation details, requirements, and space options.
