Tour de Fat returns this weekend with a new location and slightly different format. The wacky costume bicycle parade is still happening this year, but since the music festival has changed from a free event in Golden Hill to a ticketed event at Waterfront Park, the bicycle parade has changed, too.

After the parade, gates to the Tour De Fat Festival open at 4pm.
It is ticketed at $25 a person and is 100% 21+.
