Hassmer Fest

Hassmer Fest 2024

Hassmer Fest is a three-day mountain bike festival is back for 2024! Enjoy the best mountain bike festival in Southeast Indiana.  Hassmer Fest is hosted within the beautiful Versailles State Park in Versailles, Indiana.  The trail system within the park offers miles of flowing single track, providing a great riding experience for all skill levels, from beginner to the most experienced. This year we celebrate eleven years of the festival and nearly 30 miles of mountain trails.  This year we CRANK IT UP TO 11!

The park’s trail system exists due to the hard work and dedication of volunteers that have a love for mountain biking, as well as a love for the great outdoors.  Hundreds of volunteer hours are accrued each year to build and maintain the trail system.

All proceeds of Hassmer Fest go directly to support the efforts of the volunteer trail crew within Versailles State Park. Come out and enjoy a great weekend of riding, entertainment, and friendship.

SIMBA - In the fall of 2015, the Versailles State Park Mountain Bikers and “trail crew” created the Southeast Indiana Mountain Bike Association (SIMBA). Our focus is to enjoy and maintain existing trails and build new trails while continuing a harmonious partnership with Versailles State Park (VSP). Since then, SIMBA has received our 501(c) (3) not-for-profit tax status and worked with VSP to acquire grants and donations. We’ve received the coveted Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 2015 “Partnership of the Year Award” for working together closely on several projects.
