Welcome to the official website of The Annual Chicago Greek Independence Day Parade!

This year’s parade was held March 30, 2008 in Greektown on Halsted Street, starting at Randolph and finishing at Van Buren. The theme for this year's parade was the "Olympic Games".

We hope everyone enjoyed this year's parade with another wonderful celebration of Greek Independence, culture, family and heritage.
