Be a Part of 

Chicago's 74th Annual Columbus Day Parade
Monday, October 12, 2026

We are celebrating Italian heritage by joining in the Columbus Day Parade.  What is more Italian than Ferrari automobiles!  FCA members have been invited by Ron Onesti, President of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans to participate in Chicago's 74th annual Columbus Day parade.

We need to be lined up by 9am.  Join us in a fun tailgate experience prior to the parade!

Parade assembly will be on Wacker Drive, just East of State Street starting at 10am.  Participating Ferrari's will have an assigned staging location.  We will be issued a "Line Up Number" that will be shared with those attending as soon as it is available. 

When you arrive look for parade Marshalls wearing Orange vests and simply tell them you are a member of the Ferrari Club of America.  They will direct you to our staging location.  

The parade opening ceremonies start at 11:30 A.M. on the corner of State Street and Wacker Drive. After which, the parade will commence at Noon and proceed south on State Street to Van Buren.

ABC7 will be broadcasting the parade live as well as live-streaming it on abc7chicago.com


There is no charge to participate in this event and is a benefit of your membership.  

Note: space is limited. 

Sign up to drive your car or sign up if you would like to walk in the parade and hold a Ferrari Flag or Banner!  Great for kids or grandkids!
