Events

Get out your red, white and blue streamers to decorate your bike, and then join in the fun during the annual RMIA Fourth of July Children’s Bicycle Parade on Sunday, July 3. We are hoping that the Chicago Fire Department will lead the parade again this year.

The parade route will take patriotic cyclists along Manor Avenue for everyone in the Manor to admire. Children in the neighborhood are encouraged to decorate their bikes in festive patriotic colors and join in the parade.

The parade will begin at Buffalo Park at 10:30 a.m. and head north on Manor. The parade route will then end in Manor Park for the children to share some refreshments from Blue Sky Bakery.
Children who would like to participate in the parade are encouraged to begin lining up at Buffalo Park at 10:00 a.m. on July 3.

Additionally, the RMIA needs adults for the parade to help secure the route, block cross-streets and direct traffic. Anyone interested in helping with the parade can meet at Buffalo Park at 10:00 a.m. the morning of the parade.

Hope to see you there!
