150 shredders from all over the country and Canada! 120 General Admission tickets and 30 BIPOC tickets will be available. Any unsold BIPOC tickets will be converted to GA on May 11th, 2024. There are also many volunteers, vendors, sponsors and speakers there to make your experience the best it can be. 

You must be 16 years or older to attend the festival.  Ages 16 and 17 must have a guardian in attendance.  It must be noted that we love riders of all ages.  Please stay tuned for special events outside  of the festival for younger shredders.

If you’d like to rent a bike, we recommend contacting Loud Performance (716-386-1171) ASAP to secure a bike or reach out to your local bike shop.  If you strike out with these options, send an email to hello@rootedmtbfest.com and we will see if we can help source a rental for you.

With the purchase of a weekend pass you receive free parking and weekend camping thanks to Loud Performance. You are invited to come set up camp as early as noon on Thursday July 11th.

Note: camping is primitive in an open field and along a tree line. There is plenty of room to bring extra easy up tents for your camping space and elaborate setups are welcome and the best one will possibly be rewarded. Camping is primitive, but the festival bathrooms are deluxe and will be available all weekend.

You may bring travel trailers, tents or sleep in your car/van. The festival grounds are a very safe place, but we recommend leaving valuables at home or locked up, as we are not responsible for lost or stolen goods. We ask that you tear down camp any time on Sunday the 14th..

There are several hotels about 15-20 minutes away from the festival and plenty of airbnb options nearby. Head over to the private Rooted Facebook group to find housemates to share the expense!

Good question!  We will have water/hydration filling stations for the event. With hydration sponsored by SkratchLabs.  We suggest bringing as much water as you would normally bring for a weekend of camping and cooking, 3-5 gallons. 

Yes, there will be a private outdoor shower available all weekend.

Rooted is for women and our non-binary friends that are comfortable in our woman-centered environment.

Please leave pets, children and male partners and friends at home. You are going to be having too much fun to give them the attention they need. We ask that you be fully present and enjoy this weekend with your friends to the fullest!

Yes!  There will be MTB skills clinics (skinnies, drops, jumping, technical climbing, cornering, intro classes and more!).   We can't forget our infamous nature ride with Adele!  All skills clinics come at an extra cost and ALL of that money goes directly to the coaches.  The clinics can range from $10-$60 each.  We have bad-ass coaches that deserve the full compensation for their time and knowledge.

In the bike mechanics tent you will find an awesome team of women there to provide clinics on maintenance, cleaning your bikes, trail side fixes, cross country bike vs downhill bike and more, all free to you! All coaches providing their time for the weekend are super stoked to empower you all with their knowledge and skill sets!

April 11th at 10am EST!
