Pedal to Porchfest with Kidical Mass on August 5

Pedal to Porchfest - Saturday August 5, 2023

Meet-up at 12pm      Roll-out at 12:30am

Meet at Wright Park Playground

501 South I Street, Tacoma, 98405

Kidical Mass bike rides encourage families to ride bikes safely in the street by following the Rules of the Road. We ride at a kid's pace and stay together in a group, stopping to regather when needed. This free event is open to riders of all ages.

This month we are encouraging families to Pedal to Porchfest, a free, walkable music festival in Central Tacoma where front porches become musical stages for one magical afternoon. The Porchfest event runs from 1pm-6pm with music acts playing throughout the neighborhood. There's also a non-motorized parade at 3pm.


Venues will be located in two walkable zones of Central Tacoma


To ride with us to Porchfest, meet-up on August 5th at 12pm at Wright Park (near the splash pad and bathrooms). We'll roll-out at 12:30pm, pedaling in a group on neighborhood streets. The route to Central Tacoma is 2 miles. Families can choose which music venues to visit and head home individually whenever they like. If you're still there at 3pm, you can join us for the parade as a spectator or participant. Details about venues are available at www.tacomaporchfest.org.

  • -Helmets are required for all riders for your safety and our insurance. (Contact us before the event if you need a free helmet.)
