The 68th annual La Grange Pet Parade is here! Come help us celebrate a fantastic 68 years as we welcome families, pets

and parade supporters on the morning of Saturday, May 31.

America’s original pet parade steps off at 9:30 a.m. for two hours of fun, floats, marching bands and, of course, plenty of pets. The route runs north along La Grange Road — from two blocks south of the tracks — then west along Burlington Avenue to Brainard. Every year, the La Grange Pet Parade excites hundreds of children of all ages. It’s truly a colorful, one-of-a-kind, crowd-pleasing event.

Grand Marshals include David Franson, longtime Pet Parade participant and retiring principal of Lyons Township High School, which is celebrating its 125th year; and Mai Martinez, reporter and newscaster for CBS 2 in Chicago.

Calla Montana of La Grange Highlands El-ementary is our Honorary Junior Grand Marshal, who created this year’s theme, “The Pet Parade is 68! Let’s Celebrate.” Our Honorary Grand Mar-shal is Brody Roybal, a Gold Medalist with the 2014 Sochi Paralympics ice sledge hockey team.

Honorary Pet Marshal Bode is a 3-year-old yellow Labrador service dog.
