The 3rd Annual Human Powered Vehicle Festival will be is an annual event hosted by the Friends of the Nashua River Rail Trail (http://friendsofthenashuariverrailtrail.com), where lots of unusual vehicle owners gather to show off and let other riders and the public try their vehicles.

The vehicles that come are too varied to easily describe, so I've just shown a few examples below.

The festival includes a long road ride in the morning, lots of fun showing off vehicles in the parking lot in the afternoon, a parade, and this year will include special events in celebration of the Nashua River Rail Trail's 10th anniversary. The schedule will be posted as soon as it's finalized.

We'd love to have more people come with vehicles, or just come to check out what others bring. If you plan to bring a vehicle to show off or let others try, please send us email (admin@friendsofthenashuariverrailtrail.com) so we know who to expect and can give you access to the closest parking.
