When New Belgium Brewing brings the Tour de Fat to Tempe Beach Park every October, countless folks show up dressed in costume and psyched for an afternoon of shenanigans, weirdness, and (of course) beer. Such was the case on Saturday, October 5, when the 2019 edition of Tour de Fat took over the park and offered its mix of "beers, bikes, and bemusement.” Cool costumes were in abundance and activities like a dance contest, a DJ session, and a performance by indie rockers KOLARS took place. Even better, the event raised more than $23,000 for local nonprofit organizations like Tempe Bicycle Action Group and Bike Saviours.
