End the Wheelie year in style! Get in the holiday spirit with the Savannah Bicycle Campaign at the River Street Holiday Lighted Parade. All are welcome to join our free festive flotilla, provided you have a headlight, taillight, helmet and a great attitude about riding on cobblestones. (We have a limited number of free lights to give away if you need one.) Decorate your bike and wear a costume and you could in a beautiful new cruiser from Quality Bike Shop!*
Meet at the west end of River Street at around 5pm. We will follow the parade to Broughton Street and on to Blowin’ Smoke (514 MLK Jr. Blvd.) for a post parade party. Winners of the costume contest will be announced at the party, though judging will happen before, so don’t be late! You are welcome to park at Blowin’ Smoke before the parade, and we will provide directions to the starting point.
* To protect children in attendance, no Santas or Mrs. Clauses are allowed in the costume contest, so be creative. As far as we know there is no prohibition on sugar plum fairies, tin soldiers, or abominable snowmen. Santa hats are allowed (we checked); just be sure they fit over your helmet.
Many thanks as always to our wonderful sponsors, Georgia Bike Law/Attorney Joe Steffen, Big H little h design and illustration, Quality Bikes, and Blowin’ Smoke!

Judging will beAwards will be given at the post party at Blowin’ Smoke. Judging will happen before the parade as we set up on River Street, at around 5:15pm, so don’t be late!If you need some bike compatible Christmas lights, I saw some battery powered LED lights at Home Depot today for $6.
Please tell me which is the WEST end of River Street … a landmark would help!

Sorry. The details from the parade committee were scant, but my expectation is that we will start somewhere near the intersection of River St and Fahm Street (that’s 2 streets towards the Talmadge Bridge from MLK). We will have cue sheets to the start at Blowin Smoke on Saturday afternoon.
