Pre-Festival Parties
Wednesday
Join us Wednesday for our Pre-Festival Pub Crawl and party. If you haven’t done the pub crawl before, you should, it is a “not to be missed” event. We board buses and off we go to some of our favorite local establishments in the region. Some you may have heard of, some you haven’t, all interesting and fun places that you will definitely enjoy on the pub crawl or when you ride through the Catskills throughout the festival. There will be drinking and giveaways, and the crew always brings their own brand of shenanigans.
Thursday
Enjoy the pre-party, live entertainment. All good fun and a great way to kick-off the festival!

Other Activities
This Festival goes much deeper than what meets the eye, you will see that you won’t run out of things to do. We also feature AERIAL BURNOUTS, Guided and self-guided tours, bonfires, browse our antique bike museum, and on Sunday we have a huge BBQ with unlimited beer.
Camping
In addition to lodging accommodations on site, there are also RV and tent camping with electric and water available. These sites can be reserved or you can obtain a site when you arrive. We recommend calling to make your check-in more efficient. Some people come as early as a week ahead of time to grab a coveted spot. You can also come ahead and hold your spot with your tent or RV (fees apply). After sites with utilities are exhausted, we will still always find a spot for you. Much like your table at the holidays, “we always have room for one more”.
