The Bolivar Police Department is partnering with the Bolivar Rotary Club to offer a kids' bike parade at this year's Celebration of Freedom on the Southwest Baptist University campus. The special parade is in honor of America's 250th anniversary.
The event is for children ages 12 and under. The parade will start at 5:30 p.m.
Kids are invited to dress up for the holiday and decorate their non-motorized bikes, trikes, and scooters for the Fourth of July holiday.
They will follow as Bolivar police officers escort them on a special parade route around the Celebration of Freedom festivities.
Participants should meet at the north end of the SBU student union parking lot on South Pike Avenue.
The parade will end on the circle drive on Ingman Avenue, near the southeast corner of SBU's forum.
"We can't wait to see the creative ways the kids choose to decorate their bikes," Bolivar PD Cpl. Brian Whalen said. "We're excited we get to celebrate this memorable Fourth of July with the children of our community! We hope everyone comes out to watch and support them."
