Columbia City’s July First Fridays: BMX Backyard Bash event was nothing short of spectacular, and we’re still buzzing from the energy that lit up downtown! From sky-high BMX stunts to dancing in the streets, it was a celebration to remember, and the perfect way to ring in Independence Day with our amazing community.

Wonder Wheels BMX Took Things to New Heights

The BMX Backyard Bash was a fan favorite—and it’s easy to see why! The Wonder Wheels BMX Stunt Team brought the thrills and wowed the crowd with an adrenaline-pumping show full of backflips, tailwhips, barspins and high-flying tricks that defied gravity. Spectators of all ages lined the streets, their eyes glued to the action and jaws dropping at every stunt. It was a performance that truly elevated the night– literally and figuratively!

Los Electro Brought the Vibes

Just when we thought the energy couldn’t get any higher, Los Electro hit the stage and kept the momentum going strong. Their electric beats and lively performance had people up and dancing in the streets. The atmosphere was alive with music, movement, and community spirit: a perfect blend for a summer night in downtown Columbia City.

Shoutout to Our Vendors

We also want to give a huge thank you to the vendors who joined us during the holiday weekend. From unique crafts and local goods to delicious food and treats, our vendor lineup brought something special to the evening and helped fill downtown with energy, color, and charm.

Community + Celebration = First Fridays Magic

It’s always amazing to see our community show up and show out, and this First Friday was no exception. Whether you were cheering on the BMX stunts, dancing to the beat, shopping with vendors, or just soaking in the vibes, you were part of what made the night so memorable.

We also want to extend our deepest thanks to our event sponsors, especially Morsches Builders Mart, Inc. and the Morsches family, longtime supporters of First Fridays and our Entertainment Sponsors. Their generosity and commitment help bring these free, family-friendly events to life month after month.
