Harper Street Bike Parade
Friday, July 4, 2025 @ 9:30 am
Events
All are welcome to join this July 4th celebration! Decorate your bike, golf cart, or wagon and show your patriotism. Line up as early as 9:00 a.m. at the corner of Harper and Hunt Streets. If the line extends to Harrington Street, please refrain from lining up on Harrington, as it is quite busy and poses a danger.
Many children will be present, so vehicles are not permitted, for safety reasons. Parade begins at 9:30 a.m. and proceeds towards Calhoun Street. Refreshments will be available on the lawn at 1725 Harper St. If you wish to donate kid-friendly fare, drop it off by 8:30 a.m.
We ask that the crowd then make room for the highlight of the morning when the fire truck hooks up to the fire hydrant at the corner of Harper and Walnut Streets. Together, the crowd will say the Pledge of Allegiance, then the water works will begin. Children of all ages are invited to enjoy the cool spray.
Quarters for Kids will be accepted and donated to the Newberry Fire Department for the benefit of families who have been negatively impacted by fire.
Any political campaigning and other solicitation is strongly discouraged.
