Get festive and decorate your bike in red, white, and blue. (Limited free accessories–compliments of the Civic League–will be available for the kiddos!). Everyone, including kids, families, friends, and furry friends are welcome, whether participating in the parade or spectating along the route. Each route is approximately 1 mile.

After the parade, we invite everyone to gather for a post-event meet-up at 725 Mayflower, where the road bends to continue along Knitting Mill Creek.

So grab your helmets, tune up your bikes, and get ready for a memorable Fourth of July! More information to follow us on Facebook for updates. Happy Independence Day!
