This year is the 17th annual Big Nasty Hillclimb event, which is the nation’s largest motorcycle Hillclimb. The event attracts up to 13,000 spectators and has around 900 competition entries. Entertainment for the weekend comes in all forms for all ages. During the day, spectators can watch 200-horsepower bikes attempt to climb a (very) steep hill. Three out of the four evenings will offer live country music from nine different bands. For families with children, an inflatable bounce house and razor trike races are available. Lastly, but arguably most importantly, there is a food court and a full-service bar, stocked high with Coors Light.

One ticket is good for the entire event (competition and festival), so only one per person is needed. Ticket prices vary by vendor and age. The lowest prices are through the ticketing outlets, listed at the bottom of the page. Tickets can also be purchased online at $30/4 days for one adult. The third option for purchasing tickets is at the event’s main gate, however, this is the most costly option. General admission for the campground is $25 and can be paid at the gate.
Campfires are permitted but must be contained by a metal or ceramic container. Fires on the ground for any reason are strictly prohibited.
Dogs are welcome, but only service dogs can enter the fenced-in spectator area. All dogs (including service dogs) must be leashed at all times, even at the campsite.
