Race to the Taste
Taste of Parker Festival and Bicycle Criterium
Saturday, Sept. 25 at O’Brien Park, 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m.
Family festival including bicycle races for all ages and abilities
The Parker Chamber’s Taste of Parker event gets an infusion
of adrenaline this September with the addition of Parker’s first
criterium bike race, Race to the Taste. At the food fest you can
sample tasty morsels from many of Parker’s great eateries.
Firefighters will host a “smokin’” chili cookoff that will light
your tastebuds on fire! Pie eating contests, cooking exhibitions,
and a beer and wine garden round out the Taste. Race to the
Taste bicycle events will go on all day during the food festival.
There are races for all ages and levels. If you’re coming to
watch the races (and the glorious high-speed crashes!), bring
your noisiest noisemakers to cheer on the riders! Professionals
will race for $10,000 in cash prizes.
Open races, 10:00 a.m.-1:45 p.m.
Kids’ Bike Parade
Big Wheels/Training Wheel Sprint
