Over 20 bands. 12 stages. 1 epic party. The Pedaler's Jamboree is a moving music festival created for bicycle riders and non-riders alike!

Get a ticket for a weekend bicycle ride full of adventure or a non-rider ticket for the main stage festivities available in Jefferson on September 5th. This is the first year of the Pedaler's Jamboree event on the Raccoon River Valley Trail (RRVT). The Pedaler's Jamboree Iowa is a addition to the popular Pedaler's Jamboree event in Missouri that has been rocking the Katy Trail since 2009.

Bicyclists depart from Waukee on the morning of Saturday, September 5th
from 7:00 am to 9 am at Mickey's Irish Pub - Warrior Plaza, 50 SE Laurel, Waukee, IA. Drop off your overnight packs at check in and prepare for a weekend of relaxed bike riding, music, and fun. The ride will traverse the "Northern Loop" of the trail on Saturday. The trail encompasses a wide range of landscapes, from wooded stretches, prairies, rivers and farmland. Stop at your convenience at a handful of locations to enjoy live music and entertainment. Bands will play throughout the day in communities across the trail.
