Summer Events

You like to party? Well this is the biggest and best bike riding party around.

Blue Dirt Mountain Biking presents Ignition, a mountain bike event hinged on the core social elements of the rider lifestyle. Join the team at Falls Creek to celebrate all things mountain biking.

Demo bikes, live bands, skills lessons, local food, a beer hall, and incredible trails.

Boats are filled with up to 20 paddlers, a drummer and a Sweep who is responsible for steering the boat. Race times are recorded and winners are determined based on who paddles the fastest.

Spectators are able to attend for free, without the need to register. You can view racing from the lakes edge. Food and Beverage trucks will be available at the event. Parking is free, although extremely limited.

Taking place across the best venues in the heart of Australia's premier riding zones the Victorian Enduro Tour offers racers the opportunity to challenge themselves on some of the best riding in the Country.

A Gravity Enduro race is conducted around a set course that includes uphills and downhills (like any ride really), but in a Gravity Enduro you are only timed over the designated downhill segments, you can ride at your own pace to the top of the next segment and then race downhill again. These time-out segments allow you to wait for your mates and compare stories and then ride on together in a friendly, social scene until its time to drop the hammer and race downhill again.

The descents vary in technicality but if there are technical sections there is often an easier B-Line so riders of all abilities can get down fine. Junior riders often tackle a reduced course to take out some of the distance and technicality for less experienced riders (in line with Aus Cycling Guidelines).

So if you have not done a gravity enduro before then check out the Victorian Enduro Tour events and join the evolution.

Attendees of the event with be given the opportunity to attend a range of events over the three-days which feature music, art, comedy, wellness, food and beverage.

Feastival will take place around the Falls Creek Village. The Feast de resistance is a ticketed music festival on the Saturday afternoon, featuring a host of Australian artists: from the internationally renowned to the locally grown. This will be surrounded by a variety of ticketed events throughout the village.

This landmark event marks the debut of Falls Creek's purpose-built downhill trail, carved into alpine granite and designed to challenge Australia's fastest riders. With sweeping views, technical descents, and high-speed features, this track promises a thrilling experience for racers and spectators alike.

The Victorian Downhill Series continues to foster a fun and inclusive racing environment for riders of all ages and skill levels, while providing a proven pathway to national and international competition for emerging talent.

There will be Easter feasting available in many of the fantastic cafes and restaurants, so you can get a leisurely coffee or brunch before filling up on Easter eggs.

Activities will include kids' activities including cinema, crafts and scavenger hunts, mountain bike skills camps and shuttles, guided nature and historical walks, big Easter Sunday funday, Easter big breakfast, giant Easter egg hunt, and the infamous egg toss - because even the good egg's can end up with egg on their face.

What a great excuse to visit the picturesque alpine environment of Falls Creek, with loads of activities over the long weekend, to keep the whole family more than entertained.

Activities are subject to change, so keep an eye out here for up to date activities.

The 100 mile (160 kilometre) course takes in six major climbs with 7,600 metres of ascent and descent. Conquer Victoria's major peaks; including Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham, Mt McKay, Spion Kopje, Mt Nelse and Victoria's highest mountain, Mt Bogong, plus five river crossings.
