TOWSON AREA FOURTH OF JULY PARADE
THE BIKE RUSH
The Bike Rush leads the Towson Parade. More than 135 bikes, scooters, wagons and strollers set out on the Parade route decorated to celebrate America’s Birthday. The children decorate their bikes with balloons, ribbons, flags, crepe paper, etc. so their bike is festive, fun and patriotic. Parents – don’t forget how much fun you can have riding with your children. Bike Rush participants are requested to report to the Towson University Health Center Parking lot at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the parade. The lot is across Burke Ave. from the Marriott Burkshire Conference Hotel. Committee members and volunteers from Trader Joe’s will be on site to assist with the decorating and forming the group into their marching unit. The route is 1.4 miles long. It begins at Bosley Ave. and Towsontown Blvd., proceeds north to Allegheny Ave., turns right and proceeds to Washington Ave. where it makes a right turn to the end. The Bike Rush officially ends on the west side of Susquehanna Ave. (near the Police Towson Precinct). Parents should make plans prior to their child riding of where they will meet them. It takes approximately 25-30 minutes to complete the route. If a child becomes lost, parade marshals and police officers will take the child to the reviewing stage on Washington Avenue where they can wait for their parents. CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 6 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT |
