The 2025 Adams County Heritage Festival Kids Bicycle Parade will be held Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Rec Park and will include a kids bike parade and a community walk along the Biser Trail, with entertainment and food throughout the day.
Bike decorating begins at 12:30 p.m. near the stage, or participants may decorate at home.
Parade marshal Tom Jolin, a founding board member of Healthy Adams Bicycle/Pedestrian, Inc. and a key figure in developing local biking and pedestrian infrastructure including the Gettysburg Inner Loop, has long helped organize the Kids’ Bike Parade.
Children 12 and under who register at the festival near the stage and ride their bike will receive five entries in a raffle to win a $350 incentive from Gettysburg Bicycle and Fitness; riding your bike before the event and emailing habpi2021@gmail.com with name, age, adult contact information and date of ride earns one additional entry (limit one email entry per child). If weather cancels the event, the $350 incentive will still be awarded, chosen from those who registered by email.
Jen Yablonsky chairs the Kids Bicycle Parade and can be reached at 415-730-4562.
