Various side events in Ede!

During the stage in Ede on October 14, there is plenty to do besides the race. Thanks to a grant from the Gelders Sportfonds, there will be various athletic and cultural side events for all ages. Check out what’s happening below and join in!

10:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. | Mobile pump track and Big Airbag

Come seek out the action at the Pumpfactory’s mobile pump track! Race over the bumps and through the sharp turns and show off your cycling skills. For the real daredevils, there’s also a giant Big Airbag waiting. Jump off the ramp and make a soft landing on this massive air cushion. A spectacular activity for all ages!

 

2:00–4:00 p.m. | Cultural Activities

In addition to all the cycling excitement, there’s plenty of room for creativity and entertainment at the festival grounds. Be amazed by street performers, join in a creative activity, and take home a personalized souvenir.

  • Paint your own bike: hop on a colorful paint bike, choose your favorite colors, and create your own work of art. Still have some leg power left? Dry your painting on the special drying bike and take your masterpiece home with you.
  • Magic and circus: Australian circus artist Yoav Shemesh will surprise you with a mix of magic tricks, juggling, acrobatics, and humor. He’ll be walking around the grounds, so you can experience his tricks up close.
  • Caricatures on beer coasters: Have caricaturist Cees Bastings (Draw Case) capture your likeness. He draws recognizable mini-caricatures on beer coasters at lightning speed—a cheerful and personal memento of your visit.

Location for both side events: Bike Festival grounds on Arnhemseweg, near Vossenakker.
