Houby Day Parade
Cermak Road from Berywn to Cicero

12:00 Noon - 2:00 PM

One of the largest, longest, and most lavish parades in the Chicago area, the Houby Day Parade pays homage to the Czechoslovakian culture (Houby is the Czech work for mushroom) which was rich in the Berwyn Cicero area when it was originally settled.

The parade kicks off at 12:00 Noon in Berwyn at East Street on Cermak Rd. heading into the Town of Cicero and ending just before Central Ave.  Come to parade where you can have a chance to see and maybe touch Scottie as we pass by.  Have your camera ready to shoot and we'll even stop for a quick photo.

Pictured above from the 2011 Houby Day Parade with the Houby Day Queen, Scottie is brought to the parade by the Town of Cicero.  So your best chance to have us stop for you is east of Lombard Ave in the Town of Cicero where we will be walking a slower pace.

This year's parade theme is Shop Cicero Stores.  So when you stop into a local store while you're in Cicero that weekend, tell them Scottie the Parrot sent you.

The entire Houby Festival runs

Thursday, October 3 — Sunday, October 6
At Cermak Rd. & Lombard Ave. in Cicero
Sponsored by the Town of Cicero
