Evening
Glow Parade & Ride up DragonSlayer
Leaving From: Big Stone Gap Bullit Park
Lineup: 8:30pm
Depart: 9:00pm
We’ll be doing a police escorted parade through downtown Big Stone Gap. Parade participants *can run extra lights* while in the parade. The parade officially ends at the city limits (near the Pizza Hut) at which point you can pull out of the group and return to Big Stone Gap (lights off), or ride up the DragonSlayer into Kentucky (lights on).
Because this is a public event with Police Escort, all drivers and passengers are *required to wear helmets* while on the parade route.
