Fest FAQs

Parking is limited at the event and we strongly recommend that you ride your bike!  If you choose to ride your bike we have a free bike valet where you can leave your bike and one of our valets will watch it for you all day free of charge.

There is parking onsite and that has a $10 fee that goes to our local bike charity. 

Visit our Fest Location page for more details about offsite parking options and other info on getting to the Fest.

All of the Bike Brands in the exhibitor list are bringing demo bikes for registered attendees to try.

While there are a ton of bikes coming to the event they are on a first come first serve basis so if there is a particular bike that you want to try please come early. It is up to each vendor as to how long you can take a bike out on a ride however 1-2 hours is pretty common, after all we want to make sure that everyone gets to try all of the bikes. Please don”t hold onto a bike while you get lunch or take a break; return it so others have a chance to ride.

Some people know that they want to go out and ride all day or know that they do not want to wait for a bike and need to be 100% sure that they have a bike ready for them each day. If this sounds like you then your best option is to rent a bike from one of the great local bike shops in town.

Thunder Mountain Bikes is the official shop of the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival. They are close to the festival, and have a huge selection of demo bikes. Book your bike online: https://www.thundermountainbikes.com/

That is up to you. Bike Demos and Shuttles are only available for Pass holders.  If your child is old enough to demo adult-sized bikes and take the shuttle, then yes, they do need a Pass. If they plan to bring their own bike and ride at or near the venue then they do not.

Yes, we love dogs. The City of Sedona has a leash law so make sure to bring your leash. The same goes for the Forest Service and with how busy this weekend is with bike riders it is important to keep your dog on a leash even on the trails.
