Cruising to life back in 1940 to raise money for holiday decorations and athletic equipment, Redmond's super-longstanding bike derby now celebrates the city's diversity with friendly competition, game booths, carnival rides, cornhole, live music, and all that community goodness. This year, the "signature historic town festival" gets some upgrades with an Urban Craft Uprising marketplace, a drone light show (reducing the environmental impact of traditional fireworks), and performances by seven-piece soul infusion outfit Hard Maybe, Seattle neo-soul supergroup RUB, and others. by Lindsay Costello
