WOOGMS parade returns to Lake View for 60th year

Get ready for a North Side parade that no one is supposed to watch --- you're supposed to march, or maybe ride your bike!

CHICAGO - Call it a unique, or weird, tradition. Call it, "WOOGMS."

The parade on the North Side, where everybody marches and nobody watches, returns Labor Day.

This is the 60th year.

WOOGMS stands for Wellington Oakdale Old Glory Marching Society.

So, how did WOOGMS get its start?

Back in 1963, a man named Al Weisman wanted to show his patriotism, and have some fun.

So, he gathered his son and a few friends, grabbed an American flag and started marching around the block.
