FestiVELO is up to 4 days of riding in the Lowcountry of South Carolina — you pick the days, you pick the distance. You have your choice of rides to suit your ambition and skill level.
You have never experienced a more exciting and activity-filled bike event than FestiVELO! We have more than 350 miles of riding over 4 days. But FestiVELO is more than a bike ride. It also includes lots of festivities and delicious food. When you return to home base in Walterboro in the afternoons, we have more food and festivities for you: themed dinners, drinks, activities and entertainment to celebrate your riding accomplishments.
You will want to spend at least one night and enjoy the uniqueness of FestiVELO. Want to see who else is coming? Simply check the Participants page.
