Three-day event
features scenic rides
Cannon Beach
Fat Bike Festival M
returns
By RAY GARCIA
For The Astorian
arked as one of the fi rst events
to return to the North Coast, the
Cannon Beach Fat Bike Festi-
val will commence on April 30 and ride
out the weekend. Throughout the three-day
event, attendees can expect scenic bike rides
around some of the best sights the coast has
to off er.
A fat bike is a bicycle with extra wide
tires for off -road terrains, such as sand or
mud.
“We make sure the tides are in our favor,
guide you to the breathtaking waterfall at
Hug Point, send you on a scavenger hunt
that highlights local art and hidden gems in
the community and plan sunset activities
with views of Haystack Rock,” said Dan-
iella Crowder, director of the Cannon Beach
Fat Bike Festival.
With funding from the Cannon Beach
Tourism and Arts Commission, the Cannon
Beach Chamber of Commerce fi rst intro-
duced the event in 2018 to promote local art
and culture, and attract tourists. The 2020
festival was canceled because of the corona-
virus, making this year’s festival the third.
Festivities will be held according to
regional virus guidelines. Event staff ers will
space out bike ride times so attendees don’t
bunch up into bigger groups. Beach activi-
ties will be spread over a number of outdoor
areas to ensure there is ample room for par-
ticipants to socially distance themselves.
Festival attendees will kick off day one
at the chamber of commerce for a sunset
beach ride to Haystack Rock. Participants
will receive a passport book which will
guide them to explore Cannon Beach and
its businesses on their own time.
