Biketoberfest is Sustain Charlotte’s signature event—and your chance to explore the city on an epic, family-friendly scavenger hunt! Walk, run, or bike along a designated route, collect goodies and raffle tickets at local stops, and experience how fun and easy it can be to get around Charlotte without a car.
We launched Biketoberfest in 2015 to highlight how bikeable South End and Uptown can be—and to raise funds to support our mission. Since then, it’s grown into one of Charlotte’s most exciting events, spanning multiple neighborhoods and becoming our largest annual fundraiser.
In one fun-filled day, you’ll help build a healthier, more equitable, and better-connected community for generations to come.
Biketoberfest invites participants to bike or walk throughout the city to visit curated destinations while collecting stamps in an event passport. This unique and family-friendly event is one of Sustain Charlotte's major fundraising events and highlights the many ways you can enjoy Charlotte without driving!
The more stamps you collect, the greater chance you have of winning some amazing prizes at our afterparty with live music, giveaways, and an exclusive collaboration beer with Triple C Brewing! Participants can also earn prizes through our peer-to-peer fundraising challenge.
