With spring finally under way, everyone’s eager to head outdoors on Mother’s Day. If your family’s bikes haven’t seen the outside of your building’s hallway for months, refurbish and redecorate them with repurposed materials available onsite at what promises to be a yearly event. Once they’ve snazzed up their bikes, participants are welcome to parade them around the park in a procession with the Hungry March Band and performers from Circus Amok. All ages.
