Mickey and Minnie are in downtown Chicago today and this weekend. They are the Grand Marshall of the 79th annual Bud Billiken parade tomorrow. This is the largest annual parade in Chicago, and supposedly, the 2nd largest parade in the country (probably 2nd to the St. Patrick's Day parade in NY City).
Disney seems to have a lot of involvement with various festivities here in Chicago. Besides this parade, they are also have a large presence in the yearly Christmas holiday parade on Michigan Avenue, where the Disney float with Mickey and other Disney characters "lights" up the holiday decorations as it passes by. Disney, I would think, is a major sponsor of this parade.
