Wheels and Deals Cycling Celebration | June First Fridays
Friday, June 2, 5 – 9 p.m., and Saturday, June 3, 10 a.m – 2 p.m.
Get ready to roll at First Fridays’ Birthday Party on Wheels!
Bring your skates, bikes, skateboards, unicycles, and tricycles to celebrate cycling in our bike-friendly city. Stop by our many bicycle vendors to see what’s happening in the scene or shop until you drop with our extensive list of Sidewalk Sales. Our DJ keeps the groove flowing throughout the night, and food trucks and the beer garden will be ready whenever you need to stop and catch your breath. Roll down on Saturday for live music, mimosas, and more deals!
The family-friendly fun extends beyond street skating with face painting, a BMX Bike Show, lawn games, and much more!
