Family Bicycling Day Downtown Redding, Sunday May 3

Embrace Downtown Redding with a Trail through the City

STREETS ALIVE! Family Bicycling Day California Street, Downtown Redding

Sunday May 3, 9:00 – 4:00

Love your Family. Love your downtown. Love your bike. It’s an event unlike any other.

BRINGING SMILES AND NEW PERSPECTIVE On this day a stretch of downtown Redding is transformed into a car-free zone for Sunday enjoyment. Family, friends and neighbors meet and experience downtown in a new way. Area residents learn about businesses and neighborhood attractions previously unexplored. People see their downtown district from a new perspective.

This is an “inside-out parade,” where people themselves are the parade, participating in activities and enjoying a walk or ride on a beautiful spring Sunday – local restaurants and shops are the attractions.

Families and friends walk, bicycle or skate the short distance from nearby neighborhoods or the River Trail. Local businesses produce open-house promotional events showcasing what’s great about downtown.

Come out and celebrate what’s best about our community, supporting business and enjoying our beautiful city.

It’s a free-form parade where everyone participates. And it’s not just for bicycles! The open-street makes it fun and safe to walk, skip, skate, dance and bicycle along California Street.

COMMUNITY TOGETHER Thank you! to our generous sponsors
