Hummelstown Criterium & Street Fair

01/24/2026

After five incredible years, we want to share that the Hummelstown Criterium & Street Fair will not be held in 2026, as the Hummelstown Borough Council did not approve the event for 2026. We are also incredibly thankful for Dauphin County, PA's support throughout the life of the event.

We are thankful for the opportunity the Borough Council provided over the past five years to grow this event year over year. Together, we welcomed several thousand attendees each year and hundreds of racers from 13 states, turning the Criterium into a signature community event.

We are proud of what was created — the energy, the economic impact, the partnerships, and the memories.

Thank you to every volunteer, sponsor, vendor, racer, resident, and supporter who helped make the last five years so special. 💙

When Bikes Give You Family 🚴‍♀️❤️

Racing may be about speed, strategy, and grit… but the real magic happens in the moments in between.

It’s the teammates who cheer for you from the sidelines.
It's the friends that become family who you forge a life long bond.

At the Hummelstown Criterium & Street Fair, we’re proud to see teams from near and far come together — not just to compete, but to connect. Here, jerseys might match, but hearts beat in the same rhythm.

🚴‍♂️💭 Do Riders Need Special Bikes to Race?

We’ve heard this question a lot leading up to the 2025 Hummelstown Criterium & Street Fair — and it’s a great one!

✅ Yes, most racers ride lightweight, high-performance road bikes with drop handlebars and skinny tires. These bikes are built for speed, agility, and tight cornering, which makes them perfect for fast-paced criterium racing.

BUT — if you’re just getting started or racing in one of the beginner categories, you don’t need a super fancy setup. A well-maintained road bike is a great place to start. What matters most is that it’s safe, fits you properly, and is ready to roll.

Still have questions about gear or getting into racing? Swing by the course on Saturday, July 12, check out the bikes, chat with racers, and maybe get inspired for your own two-wheeled adventure!

📍 Racing all day | Food trucks | Vendors | Family fun

We are saddened to hear the passing of fellow cyclist, Judge Michael Smith. We will be holding a moment of silence for him at our event on Saturday. May our thoughts be with his family & loved ones during this time.

🚴‍♂️🇫🇷 Wait… Is This Like the Tour de France?

With the Tour de France happening right now, a lot of folks are wondering — how is a criterium different?

Great question! While both are types of bike races, they’re totally different experiences — for both racers and spectators.

👑 Tour de France:
• Lasts 3 weeks
• Covers 2,000+ miles across mountains and countryside
• Racers spend hours in the saddle each day
• Not something you can easily watch in person (unless you're in France!)

🏁 Criterium (like ours!):
• Short & fast races on a closed loop course (usually under 1 mile)
• Riders do multiple laps at high speed — up to 35mph!
• You see the action up-close, every 1-2 minutes
• Perfect for spectators, families, and community fun!

The Hummelstown Criterium & Street Fair is a one-day event packed with nonstop racing, 30+ craft vendors, 10+ food trucks, live music, and activities for all ages. Even if you’ve never watched bike racing before, you’ll have a blast.

📍 Saturday, July 12 — all day in Downtown Hummelstown
📍 Free to attend — and full of excitement!
