[Photos] Chicago's Bud Billiken Parade 2014

Gearing up for kids to go back to school on Sept. 2nd, Bud Billiken kicked off its annual parade on Chicago's South Side, this past weekend. The event was filled with bands, floats, food, family fun and it drew thousands in attendance. Chicago's 107.5 WGCI presented three floats in this year's activity and they brought along with them R&B singer Trevor Jackson and Diggy Simmons to perform. 

During the festivities, R&B legend Chaka Khan also participated in the parade and served as this year's Grand Marshal. After the jump, check out pictures and don't forget to leave your comments.
