Love a bike ride? Love live music? This is the festival for you! On Aug. 16, join the pack of cyclists at 3 p.m. taking off from the beautiful Cosmo Park. They will embark on an 11-mile bike ride through the Bear Creek Trail, ending back at Antimi Shelter at Cosmo Park. There will be live music all along the route and food trucks offered at Cosmo Park.

It’s all about being social, less about the miles. Riders are encouraged to take their own pace and enjoy the scenery, music and socialization. You don’t have to keep up with the crowd, make it to every stop or even bike — non-cyclers are more than welcome to purchase tickets to just see the music.

Here is the lineup from Bear Creek Bluegrass’ website:

  • 3:30 p.m. Ride check in and registration at Cosmo Park Antimi Shelter
  • 3:15 p.m. Bottom of the hill social
