Radio Boise is partnering with Boise Bicycle Project at the second Boise Goathead Fest for a celebration of the bicycle community in Idaho!
For years, the “goathead monster” has been a scourge: rides ruined, tires trashed and punctures have permeated our pedal-powered lives. But now the monster’s had a change of heart. Instead of popping tires, Boise’s most despised invasive specie will be giving back by throwing an awesome party on Friday, August 2 and Saturday, August 3 at Cecil D. Andrus Park in Downtown Boise.
Join us for live music, games, food, the now-legendary bike parade and more.
Or, volunteer and help us make this Goathead Fest ever more successful and fun than last year!

This year, 100% of proceeds from the parade and festival directly benefit bicycle non-profits in Boise and beyond: Boise Bicycle Project, Southwest Idaho Mountain Bike Association, Treasure Valley Cycling Alliance, Land Trust of the Treasure Valley, Idaho Walk Bike Alliance, Dirt Dolls and the Interscholastic Cycle League.
Finally, this event would not be possible without the generous support of countless folks like you and community-minded organizations in Boise.
