POSTPONED UNTIL SUMMER 2021

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s Crafts N Cranks festival until 2021. We look forward to the time when we can all meet again and share our love for mountain bikes, craft beers, and good times.

Crafts N Cranks is a one-of-a-kind festival for mountain bikers, craft beer aficionados, and outdoor enthusiasts, featuring two days of bike competitions and beer tastings, with live music and plenty of family-friendly activities at SoCal’s home for year-round outdoor fun – Snow Summit.

LIVE PERFORMANCES

The annual Crafts N Cranks at Snow Summit has been postponed. Below are the 2019 details. Check back June 2021 for updated information on the 6th annual event.

It’s not a party without music. Come enjoy live performances by IGNITE, Whitekaps, and Death by Stereo while you watch all the MTB action, sample 40 of SoCal’s best craft beers, and enjoy all the base area activities. All performances are free to the public. Check the event schedule for set times.

IGNITE

Formed in 1993 in the suburbs of Orange County during the height of Seattle Grunge and the Epitaph Records punk revival, IGNITE have made a career defying convention with against the grain music and thought provoking, politically charged lyricism. From prior efforts including “Call On My Brothers” (1995), “Past Our Means” (1996) and “A Place Called Home” (2000), the band’s records have distinguished themselves with complex arrangements, triumphant hooks and IGNITE’s calling card: frontman Zoli Teglas’ unmistakable, soaring vocals.

DEATH BY STEREO

DBS, as they are known by many of their loyal followers, have assembled a worldwide fan base built upon a seemingly endless international tour schedule, with enough passport stamps to make many of their contemporaries jealous. They have shared the stage many times over with the likes of Slipknot, AFI, Serj Tankian, Avenged Sevenfold, and Rise Against, just to name a few. They have headlined some of the biggest and best festivals around the world (Germany’s “With Full Force”, Belgium’s “Grozerock”, U.S.‘s “Warped Tour” and Colombia’s “Rock Al Parque”). Having toured in over 20 countries is an accomplishment few bands of any stature can lay claim to.

WHITEKAPS

In 1983 Dean Briggs, Glenn McKenzie, Mike Burton and Bob Becker, all high school friends, started a band heavily influenced by the surf / skate culture and the sounds of bands like Agent Orange, The Gears, Simpletones, The Crowd and JFA. Known for their humorous lyrics and fun raucous shows that included a lot of crowd involvement, beer and barely clad punk rock girls, the Whitekaps played with most of the bands they grew up loving as well as the 90â€™s wave of punk bands such as Greenday, Offspring, Blink 182, and more.
