Greenway Glow
Illuminated Art Festival and Night Bike Ride
Saturday, June 22, 2013
The Greenway Glow is TWO events in ONE: a free community art festival and a night bike ride to raise funds for the Midtown Greenway.
Bike ride participants will enjoy dozens of art installations and performances along the Greenway, PLUS:
- FREE food from Bar Louie
- FREE beverages
- FREE glow-in-the-dark t-shirts and glowing lights
- FREE post-ride festivities
- FREE prizes for the largest team, best costumes, most creative bike-lights, most funds raised for the Greenway, and more!
Registration for the bike ride is $25 by June 3rd ($30 after/at the event). Adult riders must also raise at least $75 in pledges for the Greenway. (Youth under 18 are not required to raise funds. Adult riders may personally donate the $75 if they choose.)
Register by June 3rd to be guaranteed a glow-in-the-dark t-shirt!
Not interested in the bike ride? Everyone is welcome to visit the art installations and performances along the Greenway. A complete schedule will be posted closer to the event date.
The art festival is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. and end at Midnight, with art located along the Greenway in Uptown, Midtown, Seward/Longfellow and points in-between.
Check-in for the bike ride will be from 6-7:30 p.m. at Mozaic Art Park in Uptown (behind the Lagoon Theater) and the ride will be from 8-12 p.m., with riders welcome to join the party at Mozaic Art Park anytime between 6 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.

About the Coalition
We're the nonprofit organization that worked to get the Midtown Greenway built.
Not too many years ago, it was a trash-filled trench that was a disgrace to our city. Now, it's a world-class biking and walking corridor that's the envy of cities across the nation and around the world.
Our work didn't end after the Greenway was built. Now, we work to protect it and make it even better!
Recently, we fought to keep high-voltage overhead power lines out of the Greenway – and we won!
We raise all of our own funds and receive no money from the government.
We're a coalition of neighborhoods, organizations, and individuals who love the Midtown Greenway and want to protect and enhance it.
Love the Greenway too?
