Friday Night Lights (On Hot Start)
2025-05-16 20:30 - 22:30 | Proving Grounds Recreation Area, 10616 W. John Deere Road, Dubuque, IA, 52001, United States
Ride Under the Lights – Jumps, Thrills & Nighttime Fun!
Friday Night Lights began at the very first BikeFest and has become a favorite tradition! We light up the trails for a unique night-riding experience filled with jumps, thrills, and good vibes under the stars.
This year, we’re bringing the magic back with two special Friday Night Lights events—one in Spring, one in Fall, plus a bonus setup at BikeFest in October.
We’re keeping things seasonal—because let’s be real, no one wants to ride when it’s 90°, humid, and buzzing with mosquitoes. Cooler evenings and early dusks make for the perfect ride.
Come for 20 minutes or stay the whole time—the lights will be on from 8:30 to 10:30 PM. Grab your bike, bring your friends, and come ride the night!

What to bring
Required: Helmets, close toed shoes, battery light, and water.
Recommended: Bug spray, headlamp, handlebar lamp or both. There will be no artificial lighting to and from the parking lot.
Cancelation/Rain Day
Ride night will be canceled if trail status is CLOSED on Trailforks.
Check back to the events calendar and Facebook for updates.
