Where 26th Street - Little Village Mexican Independence Parade 2026

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

Join with Chicago & Cook County Republicans in Sunday's 55th Annual Little Village Mexican Independence Parade, as we March Down 26th Street!

March with the Bailey, Fioretti, Drew & Castillo Campaigns and other

Chicago & Cook County Republicans in this annual event.

We'll meet to represent Republicans and our 2026 slate of Illinois Republican candidates on Sunday, September 13, between 10:00am & 11:00am on California Blvd, between 26th and 31st Streets., as we celebrate Mexican Independence Day. Park in the neighborhoods after 10am and find us (#79) on California Blvd between 26th & 31st (We'll likely be closer to 31st, as we are near the end) by 11:00am. The parade steps off at Noon.

IL Republican Comptroller candidate Bryan Drew will be joining the parade, as will 4th District Republican Congressional candidate Lupe Castillo. We're looking for walkers to carry signs, wave to the crowd and pass out literature along the parade route. This parade usually brings thousands of people enjoying the celebration and is a great way to promote our candidates and our principles in a neighborhood that moved toward the Republican party in 2024!

We'll have water, but hydrate properly beforehand. ALSO, wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather which should be in the mid-to-upper-70's.

DO NOT attempt to drive down California Blvd, as it will be closed. Use Western Ave to make your way to the parade route and in-the-neighborhood parking.

We'll see you there!
