The parade is billed as a “red, white and blue celebration” where residents are encouraged to create their own floats and displays.

The 11th annual Great American Kids’ Bike Parade will begin at 10 a.m. at 1 Granada Ave. on the beach bike path in Long Beach. Long Beach police Chief Jim McDonnell, a candidate for Los Angeles County sheriff, is among the expected guests.
