Saturday, noon – 3 p.m.;

Enjoy a lazy, late summer afternoon on the lawn at Historic Bloemendaal, original home of the Lakeside Wheel Club (1895).  Under the tent, enjoy icy treats (available for purchase) and picnic fare (available for purchase) against a nearby backdrop of music and historical bicycle displays and demonstrations.  Relax as a barbershop quartet strolls and serenades, try out a summer lawn game, and step inside the Bloemendaal House for informal tours recalling the late 19th century bicycling craze.  This family-friendly event offers a great end-of-season celebration before school resumes, amidst the abundant blooms of the Grace Arents Garden in all its late summer glory.
