The Ginger Ninjas and the South Yuba River Citizens League, creators of the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival, are teaming up for a series of approximately 16 music/ film festivals and 80 shows at schools and clubs down the West Coast in the summer and fall of 2011. The festivals will both be delivered and powered by bicycles, as the Ginger Ninjas, creators of The Pleasant Revolution Bicycle Music Festival Tour, cycle down the coast toting all their instruments and a human-powered sound and projection system.
The series will engage participants, as well as local and national media in the promotion of bicycle culture, watershed health and environmental citizenship. It will also be filmed by a cycling camera crew.
This year’s route will become the established annual festival circuit, which will enable bands and fans to easily cycle from event to event.
Schedule May to October
Bicycle Music and Film Festivals (BMFFs) will be produced on weekends in the following locations: Vancouver, BC; Bellingham, Seattle and Olympia, WA; Portland, Corvallis, Eugene and Ashland, OR; Arcata, Mendocino, Marin County, Berkeley, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Santa Monica, Los Angeles and San Diego, CA; and Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
During weekdays, the tour will visit grade schools, high schools and colleges, and will perform pedal-powered shows in several music venues.
