After the run and walk, the Fourth of July fun continues with the township’s annual Kid’s Bike Parade at 10:30 a.m. where children and their families are invited to head down Main Street for their own parade before the main parade begins.
Kids can decorate their bikes for the parade, or parents can pull young children in decorated wagons.

To register for the bike parade, meet at the Main Street Firehouse by 10 a.m.
Next, at 11:30 a.m. the main Fourth of July Parade begins, during which residents can set up their chairs and blankets along Main Street to see floats, marchers, music and more pass by.
