New Belgium Brewing’s Tour de Fat 2018, a traveling beer, music, and bicycle festival, lands in Asheville, NC on September 22nd. This year’s event features headliners Built To Spill!
The 19th annual Tour de Fat festival is hitting six cities across the country and Asheville is proud to be one of them! Tour de Fat is an annual celebration of bicycles, craft beer, and live entertainment that also serves to to raise money for local non-profits.
This year’s tour will once again include the wildly popular Slow Ride costumed bicycle parade as well as a Talent Show and Dance Contest. Asheville On Bikes is also bringing back their Bike Pit collection of bicycle-based oddities.
Music will be provided by Fire Leopard, KOLARS, and, as mentioned above, headliners Built to Spill. The festival’s touring ensemble also includes comedians, cirque performers, and other entertainers.
Tour de Fat 2018 will take place at Asheville’s New Belgium Brewery, just a few minutes drive from our Asheville bed and breakfast, North Lodge on Oakland. A good variety of New Belgium beers will be available, as well as great eats a la local food trucks.
