The 23rd Annual Nelson Fat Tire Festival August 23-26, 2018
Fat Tire Festival time again. This event takes place every year in memory of Cam Alexander, a friend and avid cyclist. He lost his life tragically while riding his bike 23 years ago. Cam, whose smile was only surpassed by his appetite, was loved and respected by us so much that it only seemed fit to throw a party for bicycles. A festival was called for. The Fat Tire Fest is now an annual event for kids from 2-72 to enjoy!
