Description

Tour de Fat is New Belgium Brewing’s traveling celebration of all things bicycle, honoring mankind’s greatest invention. Born in Fort Collins, Colorado, to increase awareness and participation in cycling as a sustainable form of transportation, Tour de Fat has grown into a national rite of passage for cycling advocates and bon vivants alike.

Opening each show with a costumed bike parade through the host city, Tour de Fat celebrates the power of the bike by encouraging everyone to embrace their inner-cyclist and ride the streets as a rolling carnival of creativity.

Two music stages and lots of live entertainment keep the whole family entertained.

Tour de Fat donates the proceeds to West Town Bikes.

The parade kicks off at 11AM, get there 15+ minutes earlier to register.  It's a slow cruise through the neighborhood led by Alex Wilson and the Tour de Fat Carnies.  Music and other performances start early and go through 5PM.

The Tour de Fat parade is perhaps the most fun & goofy bike ride of the year. It is an early Saturday morning parade of bikes where costumed(if possible)riders tour the area for about an hour. This is a excellent fun ride for children. Last year's ride was rained out. Please do the anti-rain-dances i've posted below!

11 AM DON'T BE LATE ! Parade/ride starts !
