The Cannon Beach Fat Bike Festival is one of the best events of the year and one of the first to return to the Oregon coast! If you ride a fat tire bike, there’s no better place to be than riding your bike around Hug Point on the scenic Oregon coast with fellow fat bike enthusiasts. With races, beach games with awesome prizes, delicious local beer, and good company, you can’t go wrong. All activities will be under current COVID Guidelines and under the Oregon Health Authority Sector Guidance – Outdoor Recreation and Outdoor Fitness Establishment Order & follow all CDC Guidelines.
“Explore the beauty of Cannon Beach by bike. We will have safely distanced group fat bike rides from the heart of Cannon Beach to the waterfall at Hug Point. Beach bike games and sunset activities on the beach will be spread out to enjoy while keeping groups small and distanced. Saturday activities will also include a “scavenger hunt” that is a fun way to explore the town like a local!” Daniella Crowder, Director Oregon Rides & Events

What Is A Fat Bike Festival?
A fat bike is an off-road bicycle with extra wide tires perfect for soft unstable terrain like snow, mud, and sand. What makes Oregon’s Cannon Beach Fat Bike festival so special is that it takes place on one of the most scenic coastlines in the Pacific Northwest. Riders will get to ride their bikes around Hug Point, around the community of Cannon Beach, and to a nearby waterfall. There’s nothing quite like a sunset beach ride, or enjoying good brews around a bonfire, and you won’t find a better group of people to enjoy riding with!
The Cannon Beach Fat Bike Festival is one of the most scenic Fat Bike Festivals in the world.
