Pedal, party & play: welcome to the northwest tune-up festival
Northwest Tune-Up is where world-class mountain biking, live music and community enrichment collide in Bellingham, Washington. Ride hard, rock out and tune into a weekend of adrenaline, connection and culture—all fueled by the Pacific Northwest spirit.
Riding & Racing
Wheelie Fun for Everyone
Bellingham is globally known for its rich, loamy soil and lush forest riding and 100+ miles of nearby trails, making it one of the best places in North America to shred singletrack. With free bike demos from top brands, guided clinics, kids events, gravel rides, spectator-friendly exhibitions and competitions that span enduro, dirt jump and pumptrack categories, all levels and ages of cyclists will find two-wheeled thrills throughout the weekend.
Live Music
Music that hits all the right notes
Steeped in musical legacy, the Northwest breeds talent and attracts global artists to this corner of the world. Enjoy a star-studded lineup of globally known musicians from the waterfront stage, covering a range of diverse genres from dance to bluegrass, psych rock to indie rock.
Beer & Cider
Let the good times flow
Bellingham’s vibrant bike community goes hand-in-hand with its distinct beer culture, home to 19 (and counting) craft breweries in Whatcom County and ranking in the top 20 nationwide in breweries per capita. With many beers, ciders and kombuchas on tap, it’s easy to find your new favorite flavor.
ARTS & CULTURE
Community through collaboration
Bikes and music bring us together, but it’s art that unites us as a community. Discover the many visual artists in attendance as they craft, carve and paint public masterpieces—inspired by the geography, climate and nature of the PNW—from beneath the expansive skies of Downtown Bellingham.
