16TH ANNUAL AMBC FALL FEST
2025-10-31 - 2025-11-02 | Baker Creek Preserve, 1516 Taylor Road, Knoxville, TN, 37920, United States
Fall Fest is AMBC’s annual homecoming — a celebration of trails, community, and the people who make it all happen. Each year, folks from across the country (and even around the world!) come together in Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness for group rides, live music, local food, beer, a massive raffle, and one of the best silent auctions!
It’s more than just a party, it’s our biggest fundraiser of the year. All proceeds support AMBC’s mission to build, maintain, and advocate for trails while expanding access to the outdoors through key programs like our new Trail Blazers, Joy Ride, Monthly Work Parties, Volunteer Sawyers, and our Trail Crew.
We offer free camping onsite, and the weekend is a chance to reconnect with old friends, welcome new faces, and celebrate the trails that connect us all.
Whether you’re showing up to ride, volunteer, dance, or just hang out — Fall Fest is for you!!!

Cranksgiving
2025-11-23 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Schulz Brau Brewing Company, 126 Bernard Ave, Knoxville, 37917, United States
Cranksgiving is a national event put on locally by Two Bikes that combines two things you probably love: riding bikes with friends and supporting our community!
Part scavenger hunt, part food drive, Cranksgiving is a team bike ride that sends folks around Knoxville to various grocery stores to collect food items, all to benefit our local food bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee.
Each team will be given a list of grocery stores and food items to purchase, each worth a certain number of points. The team with the highest score and the quickest time wins!
The event starts and ends at Schulz Bräu in North Knoxville. Registration for Cranksgiving opens at 1PM and the ride begins at 2PM, so be sure to show up early to plan the best route! RSVP for Cranksgiving now!
