The Linwood community rang in Independence Day with its annual July 4th Bike Parade, hosted by the Linwood Historical Society and Linwood Fire Department. The morning event drew families, friends, and neighbors together in a festive display of patriotic pride.

Dozens of participants — many of them children — decorated their bicycles with red, white, and blue streamers, flags, and festive accessories.

Following the parade, attendees enjoyed a variety of holiday-themed activities. Highlights included lawn games, snacks, tours of the firehouse and historical society buildings, and a hands-on opportunity to spray a real fire hose — an annual favorite among the kids.

The event offered a mix of fun, education, and community spirit, reflecting the town’s strong tradition of celebrating America’s birthday in true small-town fashion.

Organizers from the fire department and historical society expressed their gratitude for the turnout and community support. The celebration brought generations together, reminding everyone of the value of tradition and local pride.
