Tour de Fat Saturday!

Don’t miss a day full of bikes, beer and bemusement this Saturday!

Ft. Collins, Colo., August 10, 2016 – New Belgium’s Tour de Fat, a traveling celebration of all things bike, is returning to Boise this Saturday, August 13 and is on the hunt for a car-for-bike swapper. Each swapper is awarded a stipend to buy his or her own commuter bike. Potential swappers just need to submit a video explaining why they have what to takes to go car-free and what the new lifestyle would mean to them. Apply at NewBelgium.com/Events/Tour-de-Fat/CarTrader.

Tour de Fat will take place in Ann Morrison Park offering a day of eclectic entertainment, a costumed bike ride, a gameshow, car-for-bike swap, fashion showdown, great music, and of course plenty of New Belgium beer. The event is free, yet all donations and proceeds from beer and merchandise sales will go to Boise-area non-profits: Southwest Idaho Mountain Biking Association, Treasure Valley Cycling Alliance, and Boise Bicycle Project

The main stage in Boise will feature the Grammy-Award-winning Los Amigos Invisibles, a futuristic fusion of Venezuelan disco-funk-party music, a group David Byrne discovered.

Other main stage acts will include Ssssnake, an eclectic soul project that shuns categories with its style ranging from hip hop and funk to gospel; and MarchFourth! another genre-breaker that includes 20 musicians, dancers and artisans that really gets the dance party going.

Two other stages, Sputnik mobile stage and Le Tigre Grande, will offer all-day entertainment featuring comedy, spectacle, and interactive happenings.
