The Oyster Bay Fire Department and Atlantic Steamer Fire Company No. 1 are excited to announce that our traditional 4th of July Parade will return this year as we continue one of Oyster Bay's most cherished community traditions. The parade will be held on Saturday, July 4th at 10am.
As part of the celebration of America 250, we are introducing a new addition to this year's festivities — a Children's Patriotic Bike Parade. This new event is intended to encourage greater involvement from our youngest community members while preserving the traditions that have made Oyster Bay's 4th of July celebration special for generations.
The traditional parade will remain unchanged and will continue to feature our fire departments, veterans, community organizations, marching groups, and civic organizations. The Children's Bike Parade will be incorporated into the traditional parade, allowing children and families to participate in a fun, safe, and patriotic way. Children are encouraged to decorate their bicycles in red, white, and blue. An award will be presented for the Best Decorated Patriotic Bicycle. We are looking for donations for children’s prizes from local businesses for the best decorated bicycles! Contact us at [email protected] if you would like to make a donation.
We are proud to continue the traditions that make Oyster Bay's Independence Day celebration so special while creating new opportunities for families and children to become part of the event. We hope this new addition becomes a lasting tradition as we celebrate America's 250th Anniversary together.
We look forward to celebrating with you on July 4th!
