There is something special about an event that is built around more than riding. Family Trail Fest at Mudslingers Off-Road Trails is shaping up to be one of those weekends where the mud community gets to do what it does best: show up, ride hard, make memories, and bring families together.
From July 3–5, 2026, Mudslingers Off-Road Trails in Woodland, Mississippi will host Family Trail Fest, a patriotic weekend created in partnership with Gibby’s and the Muddin Mamas. This event is packed with trail rides, contests, music, fireworks, family fun, and plenty of mud.
For Where2Mud, this one hits close to the heart. Both the Gibby’s and the Muddin Mamas are Where2Mud Ambassadors, and we are so proud of the way they are using their platforms to unite mudding families. They are not just putting on an event; they are helping create a place where riders, kids, parents, and friends can come together to celebrate community, freedom, and America turning 250.
A Weekend Built for Families
Family Trail Fest kicks off Friday night with a Party at the Barn at 7 p.m. As the trails cool down, the party heats up with music, dancing, good vibes, and time to hang out with the off-road community before Saturday’s full schedule begins.
Saturday is loaded from morning until night with something for every kind of rider and every age group.
The day starts with The Muddy Duck Hunt, where patriotic rubber ducks will be hidden throughout the park. Riders can start searching as soon as they hit the trails. Anyone who finds a USA duck can bring it to the stage Saturday at 7 p.m. for a chance to win goodies.
At 11 a.m., the Mud Machines & Meet-Up will take place by the pond. Families can meet the Gibby’s and the Muddin Mamas, let the little ones hop in the bikes for photos, grab pictures, and check out the rides up close. This is exactly the kind of moment that makes the mud community feel like family.
Then at 12:30 p.m., everyone can join in for the Family Trail Ride, also meeting by the pond. It is a chance for the whole crew to cruise together, enjoy the outdoors, and make those muddy memories that stick.
Mud, Contests, and Patriotic Fun
At 4:30 p.m., things get extra messy with the Bounty Hole Mud Dash. This one is a foot race straight through the bounty hole, with the kids kicking things off first and the parents going head-to-head right after. Expect slips, slides, laughs, full-send chaos, and plenty of mud.
The patriotic contests begin at 6 p.m. with Stars, Stripes, & Side x Sides in front of the stage. Riders are encouraged to deck out their machines in their boldest red, white, and blue style and compete for the title of most patriotic ride.
At 6:30 p.m., the party moves into Stars, Stripes, & Style, where attendees can show off their best patriotic look. Red, white, and blue are the dress code, and bragging rights plus goodies are on the line.
At 7 p.m., everyone will gather at the stage for Winner Winner, Mud Dinner. Contest winners will be announced, ducks will be turned in, prizes will be handed out, and a few extra goodies may be tossed to the crowd.
The night closes with the Red, White & Boom Party at 7:30 p.m., a DJ party at the stage leading into the 9 p.m. fireworks show. With music, lights, a full crowd, and fireworks overhead, it is the kind of finale that makes a holiday weekend unforgettable.
Proud to See the Mud Community Show Up
One of the best parts of Family Trail Fest is seeing how many sponsors and supporters are backing this event. When brands, riders, families, ambassadors, and parks all come together, it proves what Where2Mud has believed from the beginning: this community is strong, generous, and ready to grow when people are willing to work together.
The Gibby’s and the Muddin Mamas have created a weekend that feels true to the heart of mudding. It is loud, fun, family-focused, patriotic, and full of opportunities for people to connect. That is what being Built for the Bog is all about.
Family Trail Fest is not just another event on the calendar. It is a celebration of the people who make this lifestyle what it is.
