Events going on around Fernie.
When?
August 21 @ 9:00am – August 22 @ 6:00 pm.
The third annual Full Throttle Mountain Bike Festival rolls into Fernie next weekend bringing with it a full slate of races, demonstrations, and free live music performances. Race highlights include the Super D Enduro race, the Dirt Crit race, Kids Crit race, and the Dual Slalom race, and there are great prizes available to be won. Events are open to any mountain biking enthusiast who wishes to participate (contact Guest Services at 250-423-4655). Throughout the weekend there will also be some impressive demonstrations of skill at the Bike Trials Demo, where athletes will show off their balance and agility over an obstacle course of epic proportions.
Even those who aren’t mountain bike fans will find things to entertain themselves with, as both Saturday and Sunday night feature free live shows by the Surf Dragons and DJ Maccabi respectively. During the day, guests can take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of the mountain and enjoy the spectacular views from the Lost Boys Café, or enjoy the summer sunshine in the outdoor Kokanee beer garden.
