San Diego’s bicycle lovers, beer connoisseurs and carnival fiends bring out their strangest attire and rejoice because Tour de Fat is back. The event kicks off with a costumed bicycle parade that winds through city streets and ends in Golden Hill Park, where the rest of the day’s entertainment shines with musical acts, yo-yo performers, bike contests and vaudeville acts. This year includes brewing education and features a “Bicycle Revival” to inspire festivalgoers to believe in the power of two-wheeled transportation.
The daylong event is free, yet all donations and proceeds from beer and merchandise sales go to San Diego-area non-profits. The 2013 season raised nearly $536,000, with the San Diego stop bringing in more than $40,000. This year, all funds raised in San Diego will go to San Diego Bike Coalition and San Diego Mountain Biking Association. All are invited to the free festival for a day of bikes, beers, music, lounging in the grass and supporting bicycling in San Diego.
