CHICAGO (CBS) -- Lakeview is celebrating Labor Day with the annual WOOGMS Parade, one of the city's unique holiday traditions.

The WOOGMS Parade – an annual tradition on both Memorial Day and Labor Day – has one rule: if you show up, you must march.

The parade kicks off at the corner of Wellington and Pine Grove avenues, and will march to the Lakefront.

Marchers are encouraged to bring pets, bikes, scooters, and strollers. The Jesse White Tumblers will perform at the parade.

The "Wellington Oakdale Old Glory Marching Society" marchers are celebrating their 60th annual Labor Day parade.

The fun event also happens on Memorial Day every year.
