Set in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains amidst a world-renowned network of trails and America’s most bike-friendly town, Send It South transforms the Momentary into your home base for a festival like no other.
Experience the thrills and chills of winter trail rides with mile-wide views (and a good chance of hero dirt) across the mountains, lakes, streams, and valleys of Northwest Arkansas. Or, test your skills closer to home with our inaugural bike olympics and rodeo on the Momentary campus.
Round out each day with a music lineup showcasing outstanding indie artists and enjoy an unexpected sonic backdrop for your weekend.
In between rides, warm up and chill out with your crew in the RØDE House Lodge. Gather around glowing fire pits. Dive into an eclectic, chef-driven series of culinary offerings throughout the day and night. Watch the sun set from the heights of the Tower Bar and—of course—take in some inspiration along the way.
