Harvest Fest: Open Riding Weekend, Excitebike Challenge and Patra Moto Limbo

A full weekend of riding, pit bike racing and a $500 limbo. Hemond’s MX & Offroad Park in Minot, Maine runs Harvest Fest October 2 to 4, 2026: open riding all weekend for MX bikes, ATVs, UTVs and OHVs across the 660-acre park, the Sawmill and Hilltop motocross tracks, the kids and Stacyc tracks and the trail system, plus camping, vendors and two Saturday-night shows. Gates open Friday at 4 PM; Saturday open riding runs 10 to 5 and Sunday 9 to 4. Saturday at 5 PM is the Excitebike Challenge, a double-elimination pit bike bracket run on wristbands (two-lap heats, three-lap LCQs, five-lap mains, best two of three in the final) in four classes by rear tire size and age, sign-up 3 to 4 PM at the sign-up building, $20 per class. At 7 PM the Patra Moto Limbo sets the bar on a 180-degree corner at the Hilltop start line: knock it down twice and you are out, and the winner of the full-size bike class takes $500 cash. A weekend pass is $100 for admission and riding all weekend (Friday arrivals), single-day passes are $60, spectators $30 for the weekend or $20 a day, and camping or parking is $30 per vehicle for the weekend or $20 for Saturday only. No camping Sunday night, fires in raised pits only, generators off after 11 PM.
