This event is put on by Walk It! Bike It! Lewisburg and the Lewisburg River Town Team.

What's a Road Holiday? The basic idea is that a stretch of road is temporarily closed to vehicular traffic and opened instead for walkers, bikers, runners, wheelchair riders, etc. It leverages existing public infrastructure to create a public park and promenade where one does not currently exist.

This year’s River Road Holiday is being held on River Road north of the Borough between North Water Street by the Lewisburg Community Garden and Winter Farm Lane near the main entrance to RiverWoods. It will be a great opportunity to roll and stroll along the river. This will all take place on Sunday, May 12 – Mothers’ Day – from 1 to 5pm. Parking is available on street in the Borough, as well as at Wolfe Field and in the grass lot off Winter Farm Lane near the main entrance to RiverWoods.

This Mothers Day take your mom for a walk by the Susquehanna!

For more information about the event, please follow Walk It Bike It Lewisburg or On the River -- Lewisburg on facebook and/or see: https://lewisburgneighborhoods.org/river-road-holiday/
