Downtown Bristol Tailgate
Believe in Bristol and Bristol, Tennessee Parks & Recreation are teaming up to bring the inaugural Downtown Bristol Tailgate on Saturday, October 23rd at the Downtown Center, located at 810 State Street.
The day of family fun will feature a cornhole tournament, kid’s activities, live music, beer garden, and college football streaming all day long. Downtown favorites, Delta Blues and Broad Street Diner, will be setup with some of their best sellers for sale to the those in attendance.
“We’re really looking forward to hosting this event with Parks and Recreation, as part of our new social sports league, especially because this is fun for the whole family,” said Maggie Elliott, Executive Director of Believe in Bristol. “The whole event will be fenced off as a beer garden so participants can play cornhole and mingle while checking in on the score of their favorite team.”
Rex Montgomery, Natalie Grace, and James Meadows will be providing live entertainment during the event, that runs from 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM. Those interested in playing in the cornhole tournament can pre-register for $15 per individual at bristoltn.recdesk.com; day-of registration cost is $20 and ends at 12:15 PM. Cost of registration includes an event t-shirt, featuring a custom watercolor design by local artist Cari Seaton. Proceeds for the tournament will benefit Believe in Bristol’s downtown revitalization efforts.
This event is hosted by Believe in Bristol and Bristol, Tennessee Parks and Recreation. Special thanks to sponsors Holston Distributing, Tri-City Tent and Event, and Power Line Farms.
