District 11 4th of July festivities to include pair of parades
This year, District 11 will see a pair of parades help commemorate the 4th of July holiday, and Alderman Peter Burgelis wants to encourage residents to mark their calendars now for what promises to be an action packed and patriotic day.
First, stepping off at 9:45 a.m. will be the Alcott Park Parade. The parade will march from 3575 S. 88th St. to Alcott Park (3751 S. 97th St.). After the parade concludes the park will host a variety of daytime activities including a cannon salute, talent contest, games, food and much more. Fireworks will take place in the evening.
Additionally, Live Laugh Loaves MKE, in collaboration with the Jackson Park, White Manor, Lyon’s Park, and Fairview Neighborhood Associations, as well as the Jackson Park Farmer’s Market and Oklahoma Avenue Lutheran Church, will see the return of an area neighborhood parade. Stepping off at 1 p.m., the parade will march from Manitoba Park (2941 S. 49th St.) and follow a route west along Manitoba, north on S. 51st St., west on Cleveland Ave., and south on S. 55th St., culminating at Lyon’s Park (3301 S. 55 St.). Lyon’s Park will then host an afternoon filled with activities, food, and entertainment until 5 p.m. Additional information can be found at livelaughloaves.com/4th-of-july/.
“District 11 is home to many vibrant and engaged neighborhoods, and I’m delighted that through community efforts the district will be hosting two parades and community celebrations this year,” said Alderman Burgelis. “In addition to these events, fireworks will also be held at Jackson Park in the evening. I hope residents come out to celebrate the upcoming holiday at one or both parades.”
