From the Official Zombie March Chicago Facebook Event Page:

"It’s that time again, zombies! We are having another zombie march in June. The rules are very simple: Dress and be made up as a zombie and just shamble and act like one.

We will all meet at Millennium Park and take it from there. The last few years we have walked to the museum campus, then taken a stroll down Michigan Avenue. We’re also considering having some zombie kickball or wiffleball.

If folks want their makeup done, Colleen Jones and David Lasley are available to take appointments. ( just message them)

More details will come as the march gets closer and closer, so start those undead gears a rolling folks!"

We’re discussing what worked and what didn’t this year, with an eye toward next year. Join the discussion HERE.

On behalf of myself and all the admins, I would like to thank each and every one of you that helped and showed up to this zombie extravaganza. but that will take forever. But i can not thank you zombies enough for coming to the march. We mean that. Even thou we had rain and it stopped 30 min before the event. I am truly glad that we still had a huge turn out as we did.

I never got the full head count but i do know that from the front and looking back we took up three block maybe four. And from looking at the sites and talking to some admins. I guess that we had about 1,200 zombies. Thats give or take. But still it was alot of people. And we are sorry that we made every one walk to Navy Pier and have to turn around and walk back. Next year will be different. But you can be happy and laugh that we crashed a wedding photo,made tons of cars honk and made ever one in the down town area freak out and stop to look.

ON A SIDE NOTE. I noticed that some signs and other things had blood on them. I am not happy about that and you know who you are that did it. But if we are going to do this again next year. Then we need to try to not put blood on things. So that will be no spitting blood, dripping, smearing and so on. The blood needs to stay on you.

PLEASE send all pics or videos that u want to get posted to me( makeupdavid@chicagozombie.

Once again Chicago zombies turned out in force for the second annual Chicago Zombie March! We have the first wave of photos and videos – send us more!
