Children's Bike Parade & Float Parade |
|
Lakeside’s Fourth of July celebration begins at 10 a.m. with our popular Children’s Bike Parade departing from Perry Park. Participants of all ages should arrive early along the lakefront path near Perry Park with an already-decorated bike. In advance of the Bike Parade, we encourage families to designate a place for children to find their families after they’ve finished passing through the parade.

Immediately following the Children's Bike Parade will be Lakeside’s unique Fourth of July Parade with decorated golf carts, antique cars, and floats. The Honorary Grand Marshal, Lakesider Carolyn McDaniel, and special guest Marky Beatty will lead the main parade from Fourth Street down Harsh Road and precede west down Second Street ending at the Second Street West Gate.

The Grand Marshal for this year’s Fourth of July Parade is beloved and long-time Lakesider Carolyn McDaniel. She will be joined by special guest, Marky Beatty.
Carolyn is no stranger to Lakeside or the community’s unique Fourth of July Parade, in fact, she has been a special part of both for decades. She was first introduced to Lakeside in the 1940s when her parents brought youth from their church to camp. She attended the camp as a high schooler and served as a camp counselor for five years. Carolyn spent much of her life returning to Lakeside to vacation with her husband, Mike, and two daughters, Emily and Rebecca. Read more.
