This event is family-friendly. There is also a mobile app that includes a festival lineup, festival information, a map, live cams, Colorado music and a lighter feature, which allows you to raise your "lighter" during shows.

September 5th at Civic Center Park

This literally is a celebration of "bikes, beer and bemusement" in cities across the US, but it started in our backyard. The whole purpose of this annual event is to increase awareness of, and participation in, cycling as a mode of transportation. It's also a great excuse to throw together a costume, hop on your bike and be a part of a Fort Collins tradition.

This event is free, with all proceeds from beer and merchandise go to local nonprofit organizations
