Hello Chicago!
It’s the first day of school!
Parents, how yall holding up? 🥵🥴
Today took me back to the ultimate back-to-school celebration—the Bud Billiken Parade! @budbillikenparade This is more than just a parade; it’s a powerful tribute to legacy, unity, culture, and the bright future ahead.
95th Bud Billiken Parade!
Don’t play with us—this is history in the making!
In a special collaboration between @Discover Financial and @AVentsbyAugust , we had the honor of curating, and planning Discover’s debut sponsored participation in the largest African American parade in the United States!
This video, produced by @Five11Cinema beautifully captures the vibrant energy, cultural pride, and community spirit that define this iconic event.
AVents by August worked closely with the Discover team to produce not only the parade experience but also a mini-festival within the park called “Discoverland.” We brought the community together for a celebration of education and empowerment by giving out school supplies, groceries, mental health resources, ice cream, job opportunities, and more!
Watch as Discover joins in, with every moment reflecting the joy, colors, and sounds of the Bud Billiken Parade through the lens of Five11Cinema.
