The Dark Side Festival features a mountain bike ride, a trail run and a hike held at dusk, followed by live music from two bands (the Staxx Brothers from Seattle and Gavin McLaughlin of Wenatchee), an Iron Horse beer garden and food — and all in a beautiful fall mountain environment.
Proceeds benefit the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance and its trail building program in the Wenatchee Valley's Foothills.
Come for a ride or a run or a hike. Or come just for the music and beer and food. No matter what you partake in, you'll end up clamoring for more — and helping a great cause!
