Holiday Bicycle Parade and 1st Friday Family Movie Night
Kicking off the July 4th holiday weekend, Leeds will launch two exciting events on Friday, July 1. The first-ever Holiday Bicycle Parade is scheduled for Leeds Memorial Park just prior to the next 1st Friday Family Movie Night downtown. Families are encouraged to help their children decorate their bicycles, tricycles, battery-operated cars, wagons and more with a patriotic theme to ride in the first-ever Bicycle Parade in the city. Both events are FREE with FREE parking and sponsored by Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce, Leeds Redevelopment Authority and Leeds Jane Culbreth Library.
The Holiday Bicycle Parade will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. at the entrance of the walking track in Leeds Memorial Park on Hwy. 119. Those wanting to ride or walk in this special summer parade should be there around 6:15 p.m. to get in the lineup. Anyone can walk, ride or roll in this event and it’s going to be a lot of fun! Leeds Fire Department will be there to cheer everyone on and we may possibly have a guest appearance of Sparky! You may pre-register for the parade online at www.LeedsAreaChamber.com. Prizes will be awarded at random. You must register to be eligible for prizes.
Immediately following the Bicycle Parade, everyone is invited to meet downtown for our second 1st Friday Family Movie Night at the corner of Parkway Drive and 8th Street. Food trucks, shaved ice and more will be available as early as 6:00 p.m. The outdoor movie, Sing 2, will begin at dusk, around 8:00 p.m.
Please note that the concrete parking lot downtown will close early so the event team can begin setting up for the movie night event. Anyone utilizing the parking lot should move their car by 5:00 p.m.
