boise goatHead fest

The Boise Goathead Fest has historically been a wonderfully weird celebration of Boise's bicycle culture & goathead removal around the city! Festival-goers dress up in their favorite kooky costume and bring their person-powered ride to the festival grounds -  filled with live concerts, artwork, funky bikes, food trucks, and beer from Lost Grove Brewing.

With six bike parades and festivals behind us, thousands of pounds of goatheads picked, and thousands of enthusiastic participants, we’ve been honored to bring our community together over a shared love of bicycles!

Starting in 2024, Boise Goathead Fest is evolving into a bigger, even more mission-aligned event: Open Streets Boise. Click below to learn more.
