boise goatHead fest

Presented by the Boise Bicycle Project

A historic pedal-powered, wonderfully weird, bona fide Boise celebration of Boise’s vibrant bicycle community! In 2024, Boise Goathead Fest evolved into Open Streets Boise!

The Boise Goathead Fest has historically been a wonderfully weird celebration of Boise's bicycle culture & goathead removal around the city! Festival-goers dressed up in their favorite kooky costumes and brought their person-powered rides to the festival grounds.

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 evolved into a bigger, more mission-aligned event: Open Streets Boise. Click below to learn more.
