17TH ANNUAL AMBC FALL FEST
2026-11-06 - 2026-11-08 | 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!!!
