Want to help painlessly?

Go to www.GoodSearch.com and select Disability Pride Parade as the cause you're supporting. Then use GoodSearch instead of Google for your on-line searches. You'll earn a penny for the parade each time.

That may not sound like much, but it can easily add up to $15 or $20 over the course of a year.

You'll also have an opportunity to earn money for the parade through your on-line purchases and your dining experiences.

Welcome to the official site of the original Disability Pride Parade, the first of its kind in the United States.  Read our Mission Statement

The parade starts at 11:00 and WILL go rain or shine. We will march just a bit on Van Buren to get to Dearborn, proceed north on Dearborn to Daley Plaza, about five city blocks away. Check map on menu.

How to Register for the Parade

The link on the menu (Register Now) takes you to our registration site. Groups and individuals must register to participate in the parade. Registration either as a group or an individual is absolutely free. We use your registration information to place you and/or your group in order and to send you program booklets in July

To have a float/vehicle in the parade you must register your group of course AND you must use the sponsor portion of the registration site to identify and pay the $25.00 vehicle fee. Please see our registration site for explicit details.

If you plan to request a booth to offer handouts from your organization, you need to visit the registration site and carefully read the sponsorship information there.
