Biketoberfest in Fairfax, CA

Marin County would like to invite you to be a part of history. For the first time ever, Fairfax's Biketoberfest, a festival of brews and the bicycle, will kick off with a Human Powered Parade. This year, the festival and parade will be highlighting the cultural value of the bicycle, and the benefits of using the bicycle as transportation.

This parade will serve as a celebration of Petroleum-Free possibilities, following MCBC’s announcement last month marking Marin County’s designations a Non-motorized Transportation Pilot Program in the Federal Surface Transportation Bill! The Human-Powered Parade will also culminate International Walk and Bike to School Week.
