HUNTERSVILLE – Lake-area residents are invited to grab their red, white and blue, and head to Birkdale Village Monday to celebrate the annual Fourth of July tradition.

The event begins at 10 a.m., when guests are invited to decorate their bikes with festive décor provided by Birkdale Village. At 11 a.m., the Huntersville Police Department will lead a bike parade through the property, taking off near Red Rocks and ending in front of Banana Republic for the annual wet down, hosted in partnership with the Huntersville Fire Department. Construction along Birkdale Commons Parkway has altered the traditional route.

Afterwards, The Grove across from Kilwins will be transformed into an Independence Day-themed block party featuring roaming entertainment such as balloon twisters, stilt walkers and magicians, face painting, a live DJ, and a photo booth for capturing memories. Guests can also stay cool with beverages from pop-ups by Sunset Slush Lake Norman and Bee Hydrated Mobile Beverage Bar.

In preparation for the event, The Village section of Birkdale will be closed to all incoming traffic. Guests are encouraged to carpool or use ride share services. Parking will be available in any of the decks or surface lots surrounding the property. For more information, visit birkdalevillage.com/events/4th-of-july.

The event is free and open to the public; however, the cost of food and beverages will vary.

The bike parade will have an altered route this year due to construction in the development.
