The Central Washington Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance is delighted to announce the return of the Evergreen Youth Bike Festival. This event offers a diverse array of activities suitable for children and families of all biking proficiencies—from toddlers on balance bikes to young enthusiasts mastering more challenging trails. The festival will feature organized rides specifically tailored for youth between the ages of 3 and 13, alongside bike games that cater to various age groups. Additionally, the event will provide open trails for biking or hiking, allowing families the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the area together.

Participants will also find an assortment of booths dedicated to outdoor activities in the region, as well as attractions such as face painting among other engaging activities. Attendees are welcome to bring a picnic or opt for on-site dining options. The festival encourages families to make the most of the weekend by immersing themselves in mountain play.

For those wishing to extend their stay, RV, trailer, and tent camping are available within the park adjacent to the event grounds. It should be noted that camping spots are limited and require prior registration of a child participant. While the campsite provides essential bathroom facilities equipped with water, it lacks power, water, or sewer connections for individual sites. In the interest of safety and preservation, open fires are strictly prohibited and all pets must be kept on a leash at all times.
