FREEEvent Navigation
Join Downtown On the Go (DOTG), 2nd Cycle, and Alchemy Skateboarding for the second annual free Hilltop Family Bike Day on Saturday, August 26th from 11am-1pm!
The casual ride will be led by DOTG and 2nd Cycle staff and volunteers and will highlight parks and other landmarks in the neighborhood. The ride is a great way to learn about Hilltop and to see how so much of Tacoma is accessible by bike.Experience summertime by getting out on your bike and check out the Hilltop Street Fair before or after hanging with us!
Enjoy a fun, youth-friendly bike obstacle course, a mini skate park, and a short family-friendly bike ride through the Hilltop at noon, plus balloons, kids bike decorations, and free helmets. The obstacle course and mini skate park will be set up in the parking lot of the Tacoma Urban Performing Arts Center (T.U.P.A.C.) at 1105 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, and the bike ride will start there at noon.
We’ll have limited youth bikes and skateboards for kids to borrow for the obstacle course and mini skate park, free bike helmets for the whole family, and fun decorations like balloons and spoke beads.
Please note, all participants must sign in and complete a waiver before joining in on the fun, and you must have your own bike or skateboard to join the group ride. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist, or you’re just getting started, this event is accessible for everyone.
Volunteers needed! We’re looking for volunteers to help with group ride safety, monitoring the bike obstacle course, and helmet fittings. If you’re interested in volunteering or have questions, please email us at LauraS@downtownonthego.org
