At Edge Esmeralda, we want a village where connection, serendipity, and staying healthy come naturally. The neighborhoods are walkable, and we put the gathering spots where your fellow attendees and locals pass through. Meaningful moments don’t have to be planned.
Our goal is to prioritize walking and biking everywhere rather than driving. That's why the village feels alive: residents cross paths between sessions, take slow morning rides along the river, and catch quiet stretches in between. Check out our shared Google Map for key locations to explore.
Electric Bikes
Drop Mobility
Once again, we’re partnering with Drop Mobility to offer a fleet of Class 1 pedal-assist electric bikes. The easiest and fastest way to get around town. Each bike can reach speeds of up to 16 mph and is designed for safety and ease on all terrains.
Every rental includes:
A removable battery you can charge inside your room (no need to bring the bike indoors)
A battery lock unique to your bike, with a matching key
A charger
Pricing:
1 Month Rental: $299
1 Week Rental: $149
Pedal-assist makes longer rides and Healdsburg's hills comfortable for everyone. The bikes also let you skip the parking and traffic, and they are the easiest and most sustainable way to explore the town between sessions.
Bikes can be picked up and dropped off at designated hubs around Healdsburg. Our team and volunteers will be supporting charging, distribution, and maintenance to ensure a smooth experience.
For more on e-bike pickup, drop-off, and care, check the Transportation section of the Edge Esmeralda Wiki.
Quantities are limited. Reserve early.
All of our venues are connected by our beloved 7-minute bike path along the river, Serendipity Lane, where you’ll bump into friends between sessions, or take slow morning rides to start the day. Plus, you also skip the parking, the traffic, and the constant ride share math.
Getting to Healdsburg
There are several options for getting to Edge Esmeralda:

Santa Rosa Airport (STS) is only a 10-minute drive from Healdsburg.
Getting Around Healdsburg
During the event, transportation will be provided for Edge Esmeralda-hosted special events that take place outside of Healdsburg. Pickups will be coordinated from main venues, and details will be posted in the Telegram group and on our community calendar.
Healdsburg also has a convenient local shuttle service, and Hotel Trio offers a shuttle service for all hotel guests.
