Vultures Knob is Ohio's oldest privately-owned, open to the public mountain bike trail. For over 30 years, Vultures Knob has challenged riders with it's unusual singletrack and provided a place where the community of mountain bikers can come together. Vultures Knob is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, funded solely by donations and rider-driven events. Learn more about the Knob here.

KnobFEST is a rain or shine event.

Yes. There are plenty of kid-friendly activities along with some kid-specific things to do!

No. Instead of having one day of festival and one race day, this year we’ve eliminated the race and are having TWO festival days. This will allow our festival-goers to let loose and have as much fun as they can without worrying about race performance the same weekend. We will be hosting the Northern Ohio Mountain Bike Series Finale on October 20, 2024 if you are interested in racing at the Knob.

Well-behaved, friendly dogs are welcome at the Knob anytime. During KnobFEST, we ask that you please keep them on a leash and that someone is able to watch them or you have a secure place to put them if you want to go on a group ride or join a skills clinic. Please clean up after your pets.

Yes! You are welcome to arrive Friday and camp, but please set up your campsite in the designated areas and be aware that the event does not start until Saturday afternoon, so there will be set up happening Saturday morning. If you arrive Friday, we highly recommend using Friday and early Saturday to explore the Wooster area, including Woosterfest happening downtown on Friday and the Farmers Market on Saturday morning!
