The 27th FSA BIKE Festival Garda Trentino and the 23rd Continental BIKE Festival Willingen will be postponed due to the pandemic. In view of the still tense situation surrounding Covid-19, it is already foreseeable that it will not be possible to hold the two events with tens of thousands of visitors in April/May. The new date for the BIKE Festival in Riva is 15 to 17 October, for Willingen 24 to 26 September 2021.
While the BIKE Festival on Lake Garda in Riva del Garda has traditionally heralded the start of the mountain bike season for more than 25 years, the BIKE Festival Willingen in spring has been impressing visitors for over two decades with Germany's largest outdoor trade fair.
The decision to move the two major festivals to the second half of the year at an early stage for the first time is intended to offer participants and visitors the greatest possible planning security.
BIKE Festivals 2021: new dates
- 24.-26.09.2021: 23rd Continental BIKE Festival Willingen
- 15.-17.10.2021: 27th FSA BIKE Festival Garda Trentino (Riva del Garda)
"We are very optimistic that the situation in late summer/autumn will again allow us to experience two great festival weekends together with numerous mountain bike fans," says Linda Schroeder, Event Manager at the organising publisher Delius Klasing Verlag. "We are in very close dialogue with our partners in Riva and Willingen as well as the local authorities to take all necessary measures to ensure that the two BIKE Festivals can take place on the new dates."
Starting places already booked for 2021 will automatically remain valid for the new dates. The same applies to tickets transferred from 2020. The Yunique agency is available to answer questions from participants, either by email to service@yunique.de or by telephone at (040) 319792910.
