BFL Presents Newport Beach Fest
September 5th, 12pm-5pm | September 6th, 2pm-7pm
The Newport Beach Fest is proud to partner with Bike Newport and the “Get There By Bike” initiative to provide high capacity bike racks, maps, routes, and information for this event. Leave your car outside of Newport, skip the parking hassles, and bike to the Beach Football League’s Newport Beach Fest at Fort Adams! In doing so, you are decreasing traffic congestion, carbon emissions, and contributing to a more sustainable, healthy community.

Helpful Tips for biking to the Fort Adams
- Bring LIGHTS, a LOCK, and a HELMET.
- Ride carefully, follow rules of the road, pay extra attention to motorists, and give yourself time to get there safely.
- Newport is known for its history and beauty – less so for the condition of the roads. Watch for pot holes and ruts!
