August = Bikes. Beer. Music. / Volunteers Needed

Special Edition - Bikes. Beer. Music.

Bohemian Light Music Festival - August 14-15

As we announced in June, Bike Fort Collins and Overland Mountain Bike Association are the nonprofit beer service hosts for the Bohemian Light Music Festival (being held in place of Bohemian Nights at New West Fest) this year on Saturday, August 14 and Sunday, August 15.

Come join us and take in the amazing performances and tunes while serving some great New Belgium beer to festival-goers. And, earn a free beer with each volunteer shift, as well as a cool T-shirt.

Not only did the Bohemian Foundation just announce the band line-up yesterday, but the link to sign-up for specific volunteer roles and shift times on each of the four stages is now live too.

While there are hundreds of shift opportunities, sign-up early for the best selection. Then please share the link with your friends and family too, and make a fun day of it--as you help support and celebrate not only BIKES, but BEER and MUSIC too.

Tour de Fat - August 28

As was also announced in June, we are super-excited that Tour de Fat will also be happening this year, just 2-weeks after the music festival, on Saturday, August 28.

Hosted by New Belgium Brewing, in its 22nd year, Tour de Fat is a day packed full of free festivities celebrating beer, bikes, and bemusement (including music). Since its inception, Tour de Fat has raised nearly $6 million dollars for local bike nonprofits nationally, including generous support to Bike Fort Collins.

Come join us and take in the amazing parade costumes, talent acts and tunes while serving some beer to the community. And, earn two free beers with each volunteer shift.

While there are hundreds of shift opportunities, sign up early for the best selection. Then please share the link with your friends and family too, and make a fun day of it--as you help support and celebrate not only BIKES, but BEER and BEMUSEMENT too.
