Bristol: March Madness

Believe in Bristol Presents “March Madness,” Part of First Friday Event Series

Bristol, TN/VA (February 23, 2024) — On Friday, March 1, 2024, Downtown Bristol businesses will host their own version of March Madness presented by Believe in Bristol! This collaboration of downtown businesses offers patrons the chance to play hoops in a number of establishments up and down State Street and surrounding areas. Participating businesses will each host their own basketball goal and guests will score themselves on a scorecard similarly to mini golf. The fewer attempts it takes to make their basket, the better they score! This is a family-friendly event and several stops will include hoops suitable for children along with a more challenging option.

As with previous First Friday programming, participants are invited to stroll around Historic Downtown Bristol, stopping and enjoying all that downtown has to offer. Guests may pick up and turn in scorecards at any participating establishment. Believe in Bristol asks that guests use the hashtag #FirstFridaysBristol and/or turn in their completed scorecard at the end of the night for chances to win a downtown prize!
