Sunday, July 19 from 1 PM to 5 PM will be a slightly different kind of Prom. Its the Riverbank Path Promenade. This exciting Sunday occasion will be a unique event along the River Bike Path and Greenway in River Road and Whiteaker Neighborhoods. The popular bike path will become a three mile long mix and mingle Piazza.

Other than two modest clusters of information and activity at River House and Maurie Jacobs Park, there will be no central venue, rather people will be the players, invited to walk, bike, push strollers, skate, picnic, hang out any way they care to. Imagine along the bike path people showing art work, doing tai chi or yoga, engaged in spontaneous performance with passers by welcome to join in.

Bike Path Attractions – There will also be information tables and displays scattered along the path so people can learn about and appreciate the good works that make this such a great bike path. Check out environmental restoration projects, community gardens, points of historical significance, recreation areas, neighborhood projects and more.

The goal of the Prom is to have a free, local, participatory, low impact, creative, positive occasion at an existing and accessible public location. Times are changing and people can look to each other to have fun, build community and do it closer to home. This is a Prom you won’t want to miss! Please tell your friends.
