"I went out on a limb and went to Roam Fest completely solo without knowing a single soul there. I wasn't sure if that was normal or how the weekend would turn out, but the website made it look pretty fun and welcoming and boy, did I make the right decision. The community of women at Roam was so supportive, so rad, welcoming and open. It was like summer camp for adult women who love to shred. I made some friends for life, got in some incredible riding, grew and challenged myself as a rider, enjoyed some baller demos, took in the energy from some unreal scenery and am still on cloud nine after my experience. "

- Kristina, Roam Fest Participant

Roam Fest is a three day party for female-identifying riders all gathered for one purpose: to spend a weekend slaying trail and playing bikes in a world-class riding destination.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - AND ANSWERS

Q: Is this festival beginner/novice friendly?

A: Heck yeah! Fruita has trails for all ability levels - you could slap a lap on a strider if you wanted. All levels and all bikes are welcome to this location, although we don't recommend first-time riders join.

Q: Will there be on-the-bike skills clinics?

A: Nooope! We're here to shred!

Q: Does anyone ever join the festival solo?

A: Hell yeah they do! About 1/3 of our participants come to the festival on their own.

Q: Are WTF invited? Are Non-binary folks welcome?

A: Absolutely to both. Anyone who identifies as female or non-binary (comfortable in a femme environment) and is over the age of 21 is welcome to join the festival.

Q: Why are the festivals all different prices?

A: The cost of putting on the Sedona festival is significantly more...approximately shittons if you want to get specific. Our ticket pricing has always directly correlated to the cost of the event and we only think it fair for ladies attending a less expensive event to pay less.

Q: Can my super adorable fur baby Fluffy come to the festival or campground?

A: Due to the insanity that would ensue if 300 women showed up with their 465 dogs...we ask that you leave Fluffy at home.

Q: Can my kids come?

A: Are you still breastfeeding a child? If yes, please contact us and we can make arrangements. Otherwise, enjoy your break from the kiddos! Our event is legally for those 21 and over, we run into permitting and insurance issues if anyone under 21 is onsite with us. Thanks for understanding.

Q: Can my husband/boyfriend/dad/totally platonic man-friend come?

A: Nope. Roam Fest is a women's-only bike festival. We can't go catching any cooties (we've neutralized the handful of guys working at the festival for their respective bike companies.)

Q: Should I bring my bike or rent one?

A: Snag a Demo Festival Pass and don't worry about it! If you are bringing or renting your own bike, we have an onsite bike corral where it can hang out.

Renting? We recommend nearby Over the Edge, CBB Bikes or Grand Junction shops Ruby Canyon Cycles, Bicycle Outfitters, Grassroots Cycles, & The Bike Shop.

Q: What is camping like?

A: Primitive camping is free and right next to the venue! Please prepare to be self-reliant for the weekend with food, water, camping supplies, and baby wipes a-plenty. There will be portable & drop toilets at the venue. If we run out of space next to the venue, there is plenty of dispersed camping just offsite from the venue area. Van, (small) trailer, (small) RV & car camping can all be accommodated. You must hold a festival pass to camp onsite. We ask that participants please leave pets and non-festival participants at home (or have them camp elsewhere.)

Q: What if it rains or the weather is crummy?

A: The festival will go on as scheduled and we will practice being hardcore.
