ZANY BIKE PARADE IN SAN DIEGO--Want to be in a neighborhood bicycle parade? The
folks at West Coaster Magazine reminds
us come Saturday, Sept. 29 for one day only you’ll have your chance to show up
in circus garb or whatever eclectic look you wish as part of the annual San
Diego version of New Belgium Brewing Company’s “Tour de Fat” celebration.
The free event, which
raises money for local nonprofits through beer and merchandise purchases, just
exceeded the $2 million mark for total funds raised since its inception 13
years ago. Last year’s San Diego Tour de Fat festival raised nearly $21,250 and
had about 3,000 attendees.
Where: Golden Hill Park, north on 25th St
at Russ Boulevard (more like an alley than a boulevard).
Here’s more from event
organizer: New Belgium Brewing:
“…Hold on tight, San Diego, we’re headed back for
another round! New Belgium Brewing’s cycling circus, Tour de Fat, is coming to
town for one day on Saturday, September 29 at Golden Hill Park. Tour de Fat
rookies and veterans alike are encouraged to grab a bike and join us for a
whimsical day of entertainment and two-wheeled revelry, all while raising money
for San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and San Diego Mountain Bike Association.
“For those who haven’t experienced Tour de Fat, it is
a thrilling rite of passage that includes an unparalleled costumed bicycle
parade, New Belgium beer, eccentric entertainment, local food, unusual bike
contests and much more.
“The bike parade starts at 11 am and for 3 miles
winds around the south of Balboa Park ‘hoods of Golden Hill and South Park. Stay after the parade for some folly from noon
to 4 pm at Golden Hill Park…”
