Tour de Fat is a traveling craft beer bike extravaganza put on by New Belgium. Enjoy competitions such as the slow ride - a bike race where the last person to cross the finish line wins! Entertainment includes musicians, circus performers, vaudeville acts, magicians, comedians, and mind-blowing provocateurs. Costumes are highly encouraged (and a mindset to party is mandatory).
Chicago's Tour de Fat will benefit West Town Bikes.

Le Tigre Venues are made up of talented vaudevillians, musicians, artists and clowns. Each show is a jewel in the crown of intimate theatre that draws upon carnival-esqe sideshow adventures.
