🏍️ A MESSAGE TO OUR COTEE RIVER BIKE FEST COMMUNITY 🏍️

We’ve been reading through the comments, messages, and conversations following the postponement announcement, and there are a few things we’d like to address.

First, we completely understand that people are disappointed. We are too! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and we genuinely appreciate the feedback, even when it’s critical.

However, some of the comments and assumptions being made don’t necessarily reflect the reality of what goes into making a decision like this.

There’s a much bigger picture involved, including the timing of these decisions and the complications that come with waiting until the last minute. Especially when thousands of people are expected to attend, many of whom are planning to travel on motorcycles.

It’s easy to look at a forecast afterward and question whether the decision was necessary. It’s another thing entirely to be responsible for making that call ahead of time, with so many people and moving parts depending on it.

We also want to address some confusion.

We’ve noticed conflicting information and conversations happening elsewhere that seem to be creating some unnecessary confusion.

Please remember that this is the ONLY official Cotee River Bike Fest page. Our communication has been clear and consistent, and any official information regarding the festival will come directly from us. We encourage everyone to keep that in mind before taking comments or information shared elsewhere as fact.

📅 AS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE FESTIVAL…

We’ve seen quite a few suggestions about moving the festival to a different time of year, and we want you to know those conversations are absolutely being considered.

This is the second time in three years that we’ve faced significant weather-related complications, and that’s not something we’re ignoring.

We’re also incredibly thankful that this situation is nothing like what our community experienced in 2024 with the devastating hurricanes. Keeping that perspective is important.

NOW, FOR SOME GOOD NEWS! 🎸🔥

The majority of our originally scheduled bands are still on board for January 15–17, and we’re making some great progress with the rescheduled lineup.

We also have a pretty exciting announcement coming that we think a LOT of you are going to be happy about. Stay tuned! 👀

And speaking of live music…

If the weather ends up cooperating this weekend, we’d love to help everyone find something fun to do!

LOCAL BANDS, VENUES & BUSINESSES: Feel free to share your events, performances, and entertainment happening around Tampa Bay in the comments. Let’s give everyone some options and show our local music scene some love!

❤️ ONE LAST THING…

Thank you to everyone who has shown patience, understanding, and support. We appreciate all of you, and we really do value your suggestions.

And for those who are still a little fired up about the postponement… CHEER UP! 😂

Look at it this way. You’re having to rearrange your weekend plans. We’re having to rearrange an entire festival!

Believe us, we’re right there with you! LOL.

Nobody wanted this outcome, but we’re making the best of it, putting in the work, and looking forward to seeing everyone in January.

Thanks for sticking with us! ❤️🏍️

🏍️ OFFICIAL COTEE RIVER BIKE FEST UPDATE 🏍️

First and foremost, THANK YOU.

The amount of understanding and support we received after our post this morning was incredible, and we truly appreciate everyone who took the time to comment, message us and show their support.

After continuing to monitor the forecast and everything that comes along with it, we have made the decision to officially reschedule the 20th Anniversary of Cotee River Bike Fest to January 15th, 16th & 17th, 2027.

We know some of you are definitely bummed out. We are too.

We also know that a lot of people have already committed their time, made plans, scheduled trips and built their weekend around being here. Without all of you doing exactly that year after year, Cotee River Bike Fest wouldn't be what it is today.

But please understand that there is a lot more involved in this decision than simply looking at whether or not it's going to rain.

We have to consider everyone riding motorcycles into New Port Richey, our vendors loading in and setting up for an entire weekend, multiple stages and production crews, dozens of bands and performers, staff, sponsors, volunteers and everyone else involved in putting an event of this size together. Even beyond safety, a weekend of repeatedly stopping performances, fighting weather, dealing with soaked grounds and putting everyone through difficult setup conditions isn't the experience we want to deliver for the 20th Anniversary.

The good news? January is already coming together extremely well.

Our vendors, bands and everyone involved have been incredibly responsive, and we're already seeing commitments come in quickly for the new dates. At this point, we don't anticipate seeing much change from what was originally planned for this weekend.

And now we've got a few extra months to see what else we can build into this thing. 🤘

Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing updates, announcements and everything you need to know heading into January.

If you have questions about the lineup, vendors, the Poker Run, contests, schedules or anything else connected to the weekend, don't worry. We will address everything with plenty of time to make sure everyone is completely in the know before January arrives.

Again, thank you for the incredible amount of understanding and support today. It means a lot to everyone involved in making this event happen.

Stay safe this weekend, and we'll see you January 15th, 16th & 17th, 2027 for the 20th Anniversary of Cotee River Bike Fest.

Maybe we'll just have to make it even bigger now. 😉

⚠️ COTEE RIVER BIKE FEST WEATHER UPDATE ⚠️

We know everyone is watching the weather, and trust us, we are too.

We are keeping a very close eye on the forecasts for Friday through Sunday and expect to make a decision sometime this afternoon regarding the best course of action for Cotee River Bike Fest.

As everyone in Florida knows, we’ve seen forecasts like this change dramatically in a very short amount of time. That puts us in a difficult position. We have to give our bands, vendors, sponsors, staff and everyone traveling into town enough notice to prepare, while also not making a premature decision based on a forecast that could look very different 12–24 hours from now.

We have already reached out to the entertainment scheduled for the weekend, and the majority of the lineup is currently available for the potential January reschedule dates we have in mind if it comes to that.

But we are not making any sudden moves.

The last thing we want to do is reschedule the 20th Anniversary of Cotee River Bike Fest. An incredible amount of work has gone into this weekend, and everything is lined up for this to be something very special.

At the same time, this isn’t just about whether we can deal with a little Florida rain. We have to consider safe riding conditions for everyone coming in on motorcycles, setup conditions for our vendors and crews, the safety of our stages and performers, and whether repeated weather interruptions would prevent everyone from actually enjoying the weekend we’ve worked so hard to put together.

If we begin seeing a significant shift in the forecast today, we may give it a little more time before making the final call. Otherwise, we expect to have an official decision this afternoon.

We’re hoping Mother Nature gives us something to work with. 🤞☀️

Please stay tuned to this page for the official update.
