BikeFest Kickoff Party is this Friday at the Pittsburgh Opera and it’s one you won’t want to miss! Get your VIP tickets to gain access to the “party before the party” event starting at 6:30 pm. With this ticket you will get to enjoy food by Kevin Sousa of Salt of the Earth while listening to Pittsburgh native Molly Alphabet. VIP tickets are $100 online, so make sure to get yours!

If you’re not into the VIP deal, you can always join the party at 8 pm with a general admission ticket for $35 if you are a BikePGH Member and $50 for anyone else interested in dancing the night away and supporting a great organization. Enjoy tunes by Edgar Um, Pandemic Pete and The Pittsburgh Track Authority. You can also take your chances with the silent auction, check out some art and much more! On top of all that, there will also be a special surprise from Thick Bikes!

BikeFest is an annual 3-week long celebration of bicycling in Pittsburgh. The events run from August 9-25 and have all been planned by local organizations and everyday bicycle lovers. You have a chance to tour all over the city, go on a cemetery tour, enjoy a night cruise and so much more. With over 70 events, BikeFest has something for everyone!

The Kickoff Party is a fundraiser that helps BikePGH with their advocacy efforts in which they strive to make Pittsburgh a more bike and pedestrian-friendly city. This event is meant to bring awareness to our communities while raising money. Make sure to check out the schedule of events and attend what interests you the most!
