The penny-farthing experience introduces participants to the unique high wheeler that dates to the Victoria era, while padel workshops put the spotlight on the new sport that has been sweeping the globe. Stretching, Zumba, and more keep the energy high, while live busking sets the perfect vibe to chill. Refuel with coffee, snacks, gelato, and beer from local food booths, or browse the sports-themed marketplace for sports gear and tech from local and international brands.
