Young people who want to be part of the 2025 Oaklawn Pet, Bike, & Wagon Parade are being encouraged to register by July 2nd. There is no fee to participate in the parade, but registration is required. Late registration will be available in person from 8:30-9:30am on the morning of July 4th in front of the Crary Condos.
Children ages 3 through 12 are invited to create costumes and decorations that reflect the Independence Day celebration. A parent’s authorization is required for any child to participate in the parade. All animals must be properly caged or leashed.
Ribbons will be presented to first-, second- and third-place honors in each of the categories – pets, bikes and wagons.
All bikers riding in the parade must wear helmets. Oaklawn will have a limited amount of helmets available to those who are in need.
