Fan Fest

More blocks = more fun!

Fan Fest, presented by Toyo Tires, is one of Colorado Springs’ largest and most popular street festivals and it just got BIGGER.

Held on the Friday evening before Race Day, more than 35,000 people gather in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs to experience this 12-block street party.

Now stretching from Platte Ave all the way to Vermijo Ave, Tejon St will be packed with entertainment for the whole family.

WHAT’S IN STORE

FREE to the public, come out and meet the Pikes Peak Hill Climb drivers, visit top sponsors for giveaways, and witness high flying stunts during the FMX Show!

Start at Toyo Tires

Once you find the big, blue Toyo Tires Arch, you know you’re in the right place. Toyo Tires will have some of the coolest builds attacking the mountain on display for you to see up close and personal.

HELLA Fast 15

The HELLA Fast 15 features the fastest qualifiers of the 2026 Race to the Clouds. Get your free limited edition poster and collect all 15 autographs from the quickest in the field.

What’s a Party without a Beer Garden?

Two Hill Climb Hero Beer Gardens will be serving up great refreshments from a range of Colorado’s best breweries, including Mash Mechanix – The Official Craft Brewery of the PPIHC, Gunslinger, Phantom Canyon, Urban Animal, Bristol, Cerberus, Goat Patch and Red Leg.

Hangout at the Car Show Block

Brand new for 2026, FCP Euro and K Series Parts will keep the party going at the expanded Car Show Block. Some of Colorado’s best European and JDM cars will be displayed near the Pioneers Museum complete with a live DJ.
