PRESS RELEASE

The moment is approaching, after a whole year working hard to prepare for what is expected to be the best and biggest edition of Sea Otter Europe, which will open its doors at 12 noon on 22 September.

Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental 2023 will celebrate a record-breaking edition with more stands, area and exhibitor brands than ever before, more partners and sponsors, more participants in events and activities and more impact and visitors than ever before.

The big numbers at Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental: More than 400 brands will be present at the festival

This seventh edition of Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental 2023 is growing more than ever, increasing its area to accommodate the growing demand from new brands that wish to be at the festival, but also to accommodate the greater demand for space from stands that are present every year and wish to increase their area of exhibition space.

Almost 400 exhibiting brands, more than 250 stands, over 40 demo-bike brands, almost 500 test bikes of all modalities, around 60,000 visitors, more than 5,000 participants in sporting events, 150 accredited journalists from almost 100 media outlets, more than 50 nationalities represented, making it one of the most international cycling events in the world. All of this is what we will see in Girona from 22 to 24 September.

Sea Otter Europe consolidates its position as one of the world’s leading cycling events


After six editions, Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental has established itself as one of the major international cycling events in the world. This is not easy to achieve given the great diversity of events that are created, consolidated or that disappear. Sea Otter Europe is now on the agenda of international brands to be present at the festival, as well as professional and amateur teams and riders, and of course, the thousands of visitors who are attracted by this great multidisciplinary cycling event.

The secret of success is the 360º view of the festival: hundreds of exhibiting brands with the latest innovations; a wide variety of options to try hundreds of bicycles of all modalities in demo-bike, totally free of charge; a wide range of sporting events of all cycling modalities, either as a professional or as an amateur; conferences and professional presentations, which are also aimed at the general public; food trucks, music, cycling tourism, and activities for the whole family… Sea Otter Europe is a huge cycling festival in Girona, turning this city and its territory into the world’s cycling capital for a few days.

At the Euro Mobility Festival we will see many brands and proposals and we will be able to try many of them out.

But Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental is much more than just seeing and testing bikes. It is also a 360º festival where you can spend a whole weekend cycling in Girona, one of the European cycling capitals, sightseeing and getting to know its surroundings, and where you can also enjoy live music, food trucks, activities for children and all the services and facilities to spend a few great days cycling with family or friends.

 No articles on Bike Festival Riva del Garda (one of the biggest expo in Europe) but Sea Otter Europe got attention ... uhmm you can see that Pinkbike has changed management. More North-American centric

 @Ricolaburle: Yes, it's an otter. But it doesn't live in the sea. And I don't think Girona and surrounding is a typical finding place. The name just makes no sense.
