CHICAGO (WLS) — Despite the rainy conditions, thousands of motorcyclists are expected to take part in an annual Toys for Tots ride.
A few riders pulled up early Sunday morning near the Dan Ryan Woods to get their spot in line for the “Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade.”
The ride will happen at the Chicago Forest Preserve on the South Side.
The event happens every year on the first Sunday in December. Each year, thousands of motorcycle riders come to Chicago from across the country ride together and donate toys for children in need.
