Don’t miss the Concord Bike Parade July 4

Every July 4, youngsters in the Concord area get ready for the Children’s Bike Parade through downtown by decorating their bikes and proudly wearing red, white and blue. This year’s event will be held Tuesday, July 4 with lineup in front of the Concord City Hall starting at 9:45 a.m.

“Please wear your most patriotic clothes and pets are welcome and encouraged,” said parade organizer Cherie Holmes. “All types of bikes, trikes, scooters and wagons are welcome and we loved to see them decked out with patriotic decorations. Please do not bring motorized vehicles, motorcycles, etc. Refreshments will be served after the parade at the pavilion.”

Prizes will be awarded for three different age categories, including 1 to 3 years old, 4 to 8 years old and 9 to 13 years old.
