Join the FPCA and organizations and groups from all over Northland for the annual Northland Fourth of July Parade, presented by the Northland Community Council. Kids can join the parade in the Bikes & Trikes group.
The Northland Community Fourth of July Parade, started in 1962, is the only traditional parade on the 4th of July in Columbus, Ohio!
This parade is a completely volunteer effort which requires hundreds of hours of dedicated work to pull together this annual event.
Parade Details:

The Forest Park “Bikes & Trikes” tradition continues. 🚲🛴
Kids can decorate your bikes, tricycles, wagons, or scooters and meet us at the parking area in front of the Woodward Park Middle School at 9:15 am on July 4th.
We will judge bikes based on 2 categories:
- “249 & Counting”
- PATRIOTISM
Parents or guardians must register participants and sign a waiver. Children five years of age and under must be accompanied by a parent or older child during the parade. The children will join the parade with the Forest Park group after judging & the presentation of awards.
