About the Bicycle Music Festival

4:16 AM 0 Comments

Our mission is to promote bicycle-based musicians, bicycle culture in general, and the broader sustainability movement, through free, participatory, bicycle-based music events.
June 21, 2008 marks the second annual Bicycle Music Festival: the next evolution of the world’s only 100% bicycle-based festival. With 30 volunteers, 15 bands, 7 festival stops, no prices, no permits, Critical Mass-style bicycle party caravans between the festival stops, a 600 Watt pedal-powered P/A system, and zero use of cars and trucks, San Francisco’s Bicycle Music Festival may be the greenest music festival ever conceived.

Bicycle-mobility of the entire festival: the entire audience/band/stage/crew completely packs-up everything they bring (stage and musical equipment too) onto bicycles, and travels as a large group to the next festival stop. There are no sag-wagons or equipment trucks hauling the amplifiers and other heavy gear – everything is hauled by bicycle.
