Polish Constitution Day Parade: Saturday, May 2nd 2026

Chicago is home to the largest Polish parade in the world outside of Poland. The Polish Constitution Day Parade is also the oldest continuously running parade in Chicago, dating back to the first parade in 1892 on the city’s South Side. Every spring, thousands gather in the heart of downtown to celebrate Polish pride, culture, and history, while enjoying delicious Polish food and honoring the historic May 3, 1791 Constitution.

Join us on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 11:00 AM, as the streets of Chicago come alive at Balbo Drive and Columbus Drive—don’t just watch it, be part of it.
