About the festival

Festival grounds with exhibitor tents and visitors from above

Three days,
one passion –
true festival feeling.

The new bike festival brings the community together in Willingen and offers unique experiences for everyone who loves to ride.

Discover the latest bikes and trends, test your dream bike right on the trails or on the road, experience thrilling races and meet the people and brands that move the sport. Whether mountain bike, eMTB, gravel or road – there is something for everyone.

With plenty of action, new experiences and a real festival atmosphere, Bike Festival Willingen brings the cycling community together.

The programme at Bike Festival from 21–23 May 2027 is becoming much more varied! Gravel in particular is moving more into focus. Look forward to new, exciting formats and fresh ideas that will bring even more action and sporting highlights. We will reveal more soon – stay tuned!

Away from the classic races, we have plenty planned too: with new, action-packed evening formats we want to create real festival moments and bring the community together after the day’s sporting programme as well. At the same time, the expo is moving even more to the centre of the action. Sport, brands and community are set to grow even closer together here. And who knows, maybe the expo itself will soon become the stage for sporting duels?!

Get ready – we have big plans!

Right in trail country

The festival grounds lie in Willingen at the foot of the Ettelsberg, right in the Hochsauerland. From here you roll straight onto the trails, onto the gravel roads through the Upland or onto quiet roads with a view.
