About this event
Trek Arlington South will be riding in the Arlington Independence Day Parade this year and we want all of the bike enthusiasts in DFW to join us in bringing bikes back into the parade. This is a very family friendly ride of 3-4 miles, on a closed road, showing off a decorated Trek van and bikes to thousands of spectators. Registration is a requirement for this event as they will not allow you into the parking lot without registration. There will be an information meeting on Tuesday, July 2nd at the South Arlington Trek shop where you will get safety, entry, and parking information.

Parade History
The Arlington Independence Day Parade is the oldest and longest-running event in Arlington. Started in 1965 by citizen Dottie Lynn and Church Women United, it was composed primarily of youth on red, white and blue-decorated bicycles, pedaling around Randol Mill Park.
It eventually became too large for the park path and has evolved into a two-mile, high-spirited, curb-to-curb ribbon of red, white and blue with more than 100 entries that rolls through downtown and UTA’s College Park District to the beat of patriotic music played by all six Arlington high schools and a variety of other musical entries.
