Mini Rigs, Music, and a Whole Lot of Heart

Biggin Bash Mini Rig Lollapalooza is a long-running annual festival in Friendship, Indiana, put on by Brian “Biggin” Noble. It's a real institution: the 2025 edition marked the 26th annual gathering.

Where It Started

True to the “Mini Rig” name, Biggin Bash grew out of the model and custom mini bikes (“big rig”) hobbyist community, a niche but genuinely active scene. Over the years it's grown into something bigger: a weekend that blends that craftsmanship with live country and rock music, camping under the trees, and a community that keeps coming back year after year.

The festival is held at Hudson's Old Mill Campground & Flea Market in Friendship, Indiana, a multi-day gathering of mini rig builders, music fans, and neighbors who treat each other like family.

Giving Back

Biggin Bash is about giving back and supporting the people and organizations that strengthen our community. The festival has proudly provided generous gifts to the Friendship Fire Department, Breastfest, and the Vietnam Veterans of America, Lary D. Fogle Chapter 71. Biggin Bash has also supported Crum Trucking's efforts to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's. These contributions are made possible by the generosity of festival attendees, sponsors, performers, vendors, and volunteers. Every band, DJ, bike, donation, and sponsorship helps create a lasting impact far beyond the festival grounds.

A New Tradition

In 2025, Biggin Bash established the Randy L. Holt Memorial Award of Excellence, honoring a Ripley County Sheriff's Office lieutenant and the spirit of service he carried throughout his life.
