Big Easy Bicycle Fest Presents: Ride to the Park Community Day

New Orleans, LA – Join us for a day of cycling, celebration, and community spirit at the “Ride to the Park Community Day,” part of the Big Easy Bicycle Fest. This special event will take place on Saturday, May 25th, in the heart of New Orleans East, culminating in a fun-filled gathering at Joe Brown Park.

In 2017, 783 bicyclists were killed in crashes with motor vehicles in the United States. Through the Bicycle Festival, we will work with partners across New Orleans to raise awareness of the bicycling community in New Orleans. Additionally, we will raise awareness of the benefits of bicycling which include exercising and reducing carbon footprint. Through community engagement, innovation, and strategic planning, we will produce an entertaining festival that includes speakers, performances, a great experience for festival attendees, and, most importantly, change for our city.
