Downtown Bristol: Putting Around Downtown

First Fridays are kicking off Summer with “Putting Around Downtown” Mini Golf Event

Bristol, TN/VA (May 22, 2025)— On Friday, June 6, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Join us for a fun-filled evening in downtown Bristol as Believe in Bristol hosts a nine-hole Mini Golf Challenge in collaboration with local businesses.

Participants will receive a scorecard and pencil at their first stop and can play the nine creative and unique holes in any order they choose. Putters and golf balls will be located at each hole so there is no need to bring your own.

Once participants complete all nine holes, they can turn in their scorecard at their final stop for a chance to win a downtown gift card!
