Pedal in costume, party with purpose—beer, bikes, and belly laughs!

Tour de Fat is Fort Collins’ most colorful cycling celebration, rolling out on August 23, 2025. Hosted by New Belgium Brewing, this free event invites thousands to don creative costumes and parade bicycles along city streets before converging for a high-spirited festival of live music, games, and of course, plenty of beer.
