Brisbane Cycling Festival
This pedal-powered festival is taking over King Street — not just with riding, but with food, entertainment and a three-day festival village.
Overview
There's a festival for everything, including getting around on two wheels. Yes, it's Brisbane Cycling Festival time again. Until Thursday, April 14, this celebration of pedal power is taking over King Street and Brisbane Showgrounds in Bowen Hills with a heap of events that are all about bicycles — and even if you're not all that known for riding around town, there's still plenty for you to enjoy.
Cycling championships and tours are all on the agenda, of course. Still focusing on the fest's main mode of transport, so is Colour Your Ride, which wants you to get pedalling while covered in all the hues of the rainbow from head to toe — all to raise cash for mental health awareness. Or, you can simply scope out an extreme mountain biking show as part of BCF's festival village, which is popping up from Friday, April 8–Sunday, April 10.
Also at the village: free circus workshops, a big launch party at Beerhaus, and plenty to eat and sip. The latter includes $10 bao and beverage deals, plus a $12 egg and bacon burger and coffee combo if you're keen on heading by to start your day.
