What do I need to bring if I want to demo bikes?

Is there onsite camping for FLOW STATE?

Are there showers for those that are camping?

Is there water access?

Will there be food on site?
- Yes, we have food vendors lined up to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all weekend long. Click here for details.
Will there be beer?
- Better question, would it be a proper festival if we didn’t have beer? There will be a beer garden running each day. We will also have non-beer options. Outside alcohol is not permitted in our festival perimeter. In line with town liquor regulations, we ask you to please refrain from drinking in the camping zones while our beer tent is open.
Will there be music?
- We have bands scheduled for Friday and Saturday night. Click here for details.
What are the quiet hours?
- Following Local regulations quiet hours are between 10 p.m. – 8 a.m.
Is the event cash only?
- Most vendors will probably accept credit cards but we recommend bringing some cash just in case – WiFi can be spotty so purchases may be easier with cash. There is NO ATM on site. Please bring enough cash for the weekend or plan on going to a bank in Windsor (10 min drive).
Can I bring my dog?
- Dogs are not allowed at the Flow State Mountain bike festival, as per ATA’s official dog policy:
ATA has made the decision that Flow State will be a pet-free event. Please note that dogs are not allowed at the festival, and if you bring your dog, you will be asked to leave.
This policy is in the best interest of fellow fest attendees as well as our 4-legged friends, who don’t need to be left unattended or spend hours locked in a hot car in July if you are out riding.
The festival environment is often hot, crowded, and loud, and can be very stressful for animals and a usually well-behaved pet may behave otherwise. We know that many folks have trail dogs join them on rides, but the sheer amount of bikes on the trails would make it dangerous for dogs as well as humans at FlowState.
Please be a responsible and loving dog parent by leaving them at home or making arrangements to put them in a local kennel for the day/weekend.
If I’m not biking can I just come hang out?
- You need to have a ticket to attend Flow State. If you don’t want to bike, we offer Music Only tickets, entry for which starts around 3pm on Friday & Saturday. Learn more here. You can also volunteer for a shift or two and get access accordingly. But as this is a fundraiser, all attendees must have a ticket to enter our perimeter.
Is there an age restriction for volunteering?
- We love having juniors join us and gain experience as volunteers and want to foster that environment for our ‘next generation’. To help promote a safe and positive experience for all, volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult volunteer for the duration of their shift. Learn more here.
Can youth under 12 attend?
- Youth under 12 years old are FREE! But please note that we do not have any activities or rides geared specifically for this age group. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
What is your return policy?
- If you are unable to attend we can refund your tickets. You can request refunds via Eventbrite. NOTE: Refund requests within 20 days prior to our event may not be honored until after our event so our staff can focus on planning. Thanks for your patience.
What is ATA?
- The Ascutney Trails Association (ATA) is an energetic group of hikers, mountain bikers, back-country skiers and outdoor enthusiasts overseeing trails on Mt Ascutney and it’s surrounds. Their mission is to advocate for and maintain accessibility of low-impact trails and structures used for human powered recreational activities in the townships of the Mt. Ascutney Area, and to support and preserve the deep historic connection Mt. Ascutney has to Vermont and New Hampshire. The ATA adheres to environmentally sound methods of responsible trail building, use, and stewardship while promoting outdoor education and cooperation with landowners. Flow State is proud to partner with ATA for our third year!
What is Mountain Flyer?
