Celebrate July 4th with Bikes, Rights, and Creative Delights
This Independence Day, we’re celebrating 105 years of women’s national suffrage—and the two-wheeled tool that helped make it happen: the bicycle.
Roll into a day of festivities featuring live music from JOMO, a parade float by artist Bree Angela with riders from The Cycle Effect, our beloved chalk art contest, and the crowd-favorite dog fashion show.
Got a tricked-out cruiser? Enter it in our Art Bike Competition and show off your pedal-powered style.
Enjoy hands-on crafts, games, and activities that explore the intersection of bikes and rights. Snacks and beer will be available for purchase while supplies last—come early, stay late, and ride into history with us.
Cap it all off with an awe-inspiring performance by Cirque Mechanics.

THE PARADE FLOAT CONCEPT:
Get ready to groove with the Monster Circus Band—a vibrant, joy-filled float that transforms Main Street into a rock-and-roll playground. Designed as a mobile stage, this float invites everyone to sing along to classic cover songs and dance with a lively crew of furry, fireworks-themed monsters. It’s a celebration of freedom, friendship, and the shared warmth of community that makes the 4th of July so joyful.
This whimsical float is brought to life through a collaboration between the Town of Frisco, Town of Dillon, Town of Silverthorne, and Breck Create.
