DerbyFest 2020
DERBYFEST UPDATE
It is with great regret that we are forced to postpone DerbyFest due to the Federal Governments banning of events with more than 500 people. The team are looking for dates later in the year and we will have more information to share once details come to hand. We would like to apologise and thank everyone for their support. Stayed tuned for more details and please note Derby remains open.
UPDATE: Given the Prime Ministers announcement on event gatherings the team are working with our State Government counterparts to assess DerbyFest and the event programming within it. Safety is our number one priority and we will provide an update early next week once we know more. We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.

The festivals aim is to celebrate the town of Derby and cement its reputation as one of the world’s great Mountain Biking destinations.

The events team will create a unique festival experience by creating a hub of live music, food, drinks, entertainment and access to the latest MTB gear on the planet.
