🚲🐾 Pups, Pedals & Patriotic Fun! 🇺🇸✨

Join us in Historic Downtown Bastrop for the Pet & Pedal Parade during Bastrop's Annual Big BANG! Celebration - July 4, 2026! Grab your furry (or feathered!) friends and get ready to show off your creativity. Pets of all shapes and sizes are invited to join the fun in this festive, all-ages parade celebrating patriotic spirit on paws and on wheels.

The parade will roll out in two groups: first, pets walking proudly alongside their owners, followed by a wave of decorated bikes, scooters, skateboards, and other non-motorized rides.

This is your moment to go all out! Dress up your pets, deck out your bikes, add streamers, balloons, baskets, costumes. The more flair, the better. Whether you’re walking, riding, or cheering from the sidelines, it’s all about creativity, color, and having a blast together.

Date: Saturday, July 4th
Time: 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. (Registration and judging from 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM; parade begins at 9:00 a.m. with awards immediately after)
​Location: Bastrop County Courthouse

There’s a new mug in town! ☕️

One of the best parts about exploring Downtown Bastrop is discovering shops that are full of personality.

That’s exactly the vibe at In The Sticks - Bastrop where owner Keith Chamberlain was unboxing these new Bastrop mugs earlier this week.

In the Sticks is eclectic, a little quirky, and full of local charm.
