Independence Day Celebrations in and around Roxborough

This weekend will be filled with family activities, BBQ, outdoor games and of course fireworks as Americans celebrate Independence Day. If you haven’t made plans yet, or need some additional activities to complete your Fourth of July, below are some happenings in and around the Roxborough area. Also included within this blog are fun red, white and blue treats you’ll want to whip up for friends and family this weekend.

The Roxborough Bike Parade will take place this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the Deirdre Meyer Park (intersection of Roxborough Dr. and Willow Broom Trail). Fire trucks will lead and follow children on their decorated bikes, scooters, wagons and strollers on a short route. Afterwards, the firemen will give children the opportunity to sit in the trucks and answer questions. Rick DeGrande will also be shooting off red, white and blue streamers from an air cannon in lieu of fireworks and Roxborough residents John and Diana Trenck will have a cooler full of popsicles for everyone! For more information, please contact Kim DeGrande at 303-908-7566.
