World Series parade in Chicago: IRL

November 4th, 2016

The Cubs celebrated their first World Series title in 108 years Friday with a momentous parade and rally culminating at Chicago's Grant Park.
Given the excitement surrounding the Cubs winning their first World Series title since 1908 -- and Chicago's history of celebrating its champions -- turnout for the parade was massive, with city officials putting estimates at 5 million people in attendance. The skies were crystal clear and temperatures were in the upper 50s. Chicago public schools were closed and city officials dyed the Chicago River blue in the Cubs' honor.
