The Garda Trentino region is preparing for the start of the season. The FSA Bike Festival will bring new formats to Riva del Garda from 30 April to 3 May 2026. Registration for the extended Expo area is already underway. Entry remains free of charge. An interactive map shows all guests the locations of the exhibitors and programme items.

Night-time drive through the Sarca Valley

The Epicnight by Epicdays.cc starts on 30 April at sunset in Torbole. The night-time no-race ride takes gravel, MTB and e-MTB riders through the Sarca Valley. There are two route options to choose from: a shorter route over 40 kilometres and a longer route over 80 kilometres.

Both options are aimed at different levels of ability. Participants only ride through the night with their own lights. There is no timekeeping at the finish, but a party on the lakeshore. A DJ set and festival atmosphere will kick off the entire weekend.

Driving technique & show in the Skill Park

The Busatte Skill Park in Torbole offers riders of all skill levels the opportunity to improve their technique. The MTB school "Ride Like a Pro!" teaches riding technique, self-confidence and flow on the trail.

The Sick Show powered by Bikeflip brings professional riders to the park. They perform spectacular tricks, creative lines and take on interactive challenges. Technology, style and entertainment come together here - a show for all those who not only want to ride, but are also looking for an event experience.

Party programme on the lakeshore

The festival is also lively away from the trails. The food area presents local specialities from Garda Trentino. Each stand offers a different culinary discovery.

The Red Bull Summer Vibes Party starts on the lakeshore on Friday. On Saturday, the new warm-up party by Fenz opens the party night at 18:00.

Afterwards, the legendary Bike Festival Party begins at Spiaggia degli Olivi. Sport, enjoyment and music merge into a continuous festival experience from the first ride to the last dance.

Maik Schröder was born in East Westphalia and prefers to ride through the countryside on his gravel bike. The tour can also include a culinary stop to fortify himself for the next few kilometres. Even if there are few metres of altitude to conquer in the flatlands, he has the ambitious goal of completing a Transalp one day. As online editor, he is responsible for creating digital editorial content such as news reports, new products and event coverage.
