The 2026 Leaf Blower Fall Classic Mountain Bike Festival

The 2026 Leaf Blower Fall Classic Mountain Bike Festival

Stowe Trails Partnership is thrilled to present Vermont’s favorite autumn mountain bike tradition: the 15th annual Leaf Blower Fall Classic Mountain Bike Festival! This year’s Leaf Blower will be held on Saturday, October 10th, 2026, and will be hosted at Strawberry Hill Farm. With amazing riding for all ability levels, awesome vendors, homegrown food, local libations, and live music, there is no better way to cap off the season than with this one-day community bike bash.

Event Highlights

• Marquee Draw: The rides will tackle some of the northeast’s best terrain and afford some of Vermont’s most epic views.
• Ride Options: Whether you love endurance or are new to riding, we have a singletrack loop for you that’ll pass multiple aid stations.
• After-Ride Festivities: Join us back at Strawberry Hill Farm for a variety of food trucks, brews and beverages, music, and a vendor village full of local businesses.
• Registration Fee: Covers rides, vendor garden, aid station snacks, a post-ride beverage, and a food truck dinner.
