In partnership with Interbike, the largest bicycle industry trade show in North America, Northstar California launches the Northstar Free-Ride Festival Powered by Interbike. This event not only kicks off Interbike Marketweek, but also encompasses a bicycle demo event open to the public, multiple mountain bike races, road bike rallies, on-bike clinics and off-bike activities for all levels of cyclists and non-cyclists. Event activities are based in the Village at Northstar while riders have access to three chairlifts and gondolas transporting riders to trails traversing the mountain.

The festival kicks-off Friday, September 14 with the Village at Northstar Wine Walk as a welcome to the Sierra surrounding Lake Tahoe. Saturday and Sunday’s activities include bike skills clinics, Northstar Enduro Race, Bosch Boogaloo E-Bike Race, Northstar Downhill Bike Race, Sierra Prospect Road Rally and the opportunity to demo 2019 bikes from leading industry brands. The weekend also includes yoga classes, bike clinics, Village Pub Crawl, and family activities such as a kid’s bike activities, bungee trampoline, miniature golf, face painting, gem panning and more. Live music Saturday and Sunday sets a lively tone on the main stage in the heart of the Village.
