New Belgium Brewing is canceling the 2017 Fat Tire Tour de Fat in Denver featuring Capital Cities. Non-profit partners, Bike Denver and the Denver Cruiser ride, will still receive the anticipated funds from Tour de Fat. New Belgium expanded Tour de Fat this year by adding more cities and bringing in larger musical acts. The goal was to generate more funds for an even larger number of non-profit partners and to introduce new people to the Tour de Fat experience.
However, this change resulted in format and venue changes for many cities including Denver and there was some push-back from patrons. For those who purchased tickets to Denver’s Tour de Fat, there are two options:You can exchange your ticket for one of the upcoming Colorado Tour de Fat shows:
- Boulder Tour de Fat featuring Wilderado on August 25
- Colorado Springs Tour de Fat featuring Wilderado on August 26
- Ft. Collins Tour de Fat featuring The All-American Rejects and X Ambassadors on September 2
Or you can receive a swift and full refund for your ticket purchase. Ticket holders should email their preferred option to New Belgium at feedback@newbelgium.com. People can also use this email to submit Tour de Fat input, questions, comments, and concerns.
