CHICO BICYCLE MUSIC FESTIVAL – Sat. June 12m 2012, 11a-11p

by BEC

The Chico Bicycle Music Festival (CBMF) is a non-profit event to promote human-scale transportation and talented local musicians through innovation, bicycles and community.

Taking place on June 2nd from 12pm till dark, (the CBMF) is the perfect finale to BIKE MONTH, a national campaign promoting bicycling to work, school and play.

This festival is for all ages and free to the public.  The audience runs the amplified sound, by bicycling to generate power.  This gets people moving to the music and participating in a new way of thinking about energy.

Bicycling to three different venues also gives the community a feel for moving themselves on a bicycle and realizing how fun and easy it is. We have volunteers helping to make the festival run smoothly and efficiently.

First venue around 11 am will be by the Downtown Saturday Farmers’ Market.

 The CBMF is a project of the Butte Environmental County (BEC), an advocacy non-profit that fights for clean air, water and land.

The Perpetual Drifters will be playing at the GRUB Co-Op around 10pm.
