About this Event

"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 riders all gathered for one purpose: to spend a weekend slaying trail and playing bikes in a world-class riding destination.

*Please note: Roam Fest Sedona is NOT intended for new/beginner/novice riders. Please check out Roam Fest Fruita or other rad events like GRIT MTB FEST for a more beginner focused event.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - AND ANSWERS

Q: Is this festival beginner friendly?

A: Due to the technical trails, the Sedona festival location is NOT intended for beginner or newer riders. We recommend newer riders join us at Roam Fest Fruita or get some more riding under your belt before heading to Sedona.

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 25% 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 and is over the age of 21 is welcome to join the festival.

Q: Why is Roam Fest Sedona more expensive than Roam Fest Fruita?

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. Additionally, Fruita has significantly less demo bikes available at the event and we adjusted the price accordingly.

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

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 husband/boyfriend/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: We recommend bringing your own bike if you can. We cannot guarantee availability of demo bikes in your size and it's a good idea to have a personal bike to ride just in case. We will have onsite bike valet in a fenced area. We are not liable for any lost or damaged bikes.

VIP Demo pass holders are guaranteed demo bikes. If renting plan to reserve your bike well in advance. We recommend nearby Absolute Bikes and the Bike & Bean, or Thunder Mountain bikes which is located in West Sedona.

Q: What is camping like?

A: We have a small group campsite located about a 10 minute drive from the festival HQ. Camping is primitive, please prepare to be self-reliant for the weekend with food, supplies, and baby wipes a-plenty!

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

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