Tour de Fat 2018 in Chicago

If you are a bike and beer fan, this festival has to be on your list. Organized by the New Belgium Brewing Company, it is held at Northerly Island. Music lineup includes hip-hop, rap and other genres. The festival raises funds for a local nonprofit - West Town Bikes.

The festival includes lots of beer, circus performances, and all kinds of crazy fun, like dances in the mud. The highlight of the festival is a bike parade, with upgraded bikes and the trading in of the car of one of the atendees for a brand new bicycle!
