Calumet City carried on its nearly 70-year tradition, by closing out summer with a parade and a family fun fest.

Local politicians flocked to the parade  in 2016, which included appearances from the Chicago White Sox mascot, the Chicago Bears Drumline. And lots of candy.

“We’re bringing in the last big blast for the end of summer,” said Gene Popa, parade organizer with the Calumet Park District. “We’re a working-class town, so obviously Labor Day is a very important holiday.”

The parade began at Wentworth Avenue and Michigan City Road and traveled more than a mile to Memorial Park on 153rd Street where a family fun fest was held that included food trucks, face painting and live bands.
