At Queenstown Bike Festival, our aim is to bring our community together through riding bikes and creating events that allow a space to have fun, learn new skills and compete in our epic biking events. We also want to increase the awareness of all that Queenstown biking has to offer, and the ways in which it can benefit people and our community.
Part of this vision is the desire to help grow mountain biking in our region and allow more people to become involved in whichever way suits them; from riding, volunteering, or being a festival sponsor.
​
Whether you're a pro-rider, a young grom, or a local business - we have something for everyone!
MISSION
10 days - 20 events! More stoke than one mountain town should realistically handle, it can only be the Queenstown Bike Festival.
2023 and 2024 cranked the dial to maximum: sold-out events, legendary parties, and some of the biggest whips ever thrown in New Zealand. Heli Biking, gravel grinders, 1200m descents, Slopestyle, Whip Off, the infamous Mcgazzafest and many more events - if it’s got two wheels and makes your heart race, you’ll find it here.
And 2026? It’s lining up to be bigger, better, and absolutely off-the-chain. From the world’s best pros to the groms who are just getting started, there’ll be bikes, beers, BBQs… and more memories than your camera roll can handle.
Get ready, Queenstown. The stoke is coming.
​
This year is an extra special one as we honour and remember our dear friend, Kelly McGarry, on the 10-year anniversary of McGazzaFest. We miss him dearly, and we’ll be spending the weekend doing exactly what he would — living large, riding hard, and bringing the stoke!
We’ll see you there!
