“Putting Around Town” Car Show and Mini Golf Event

Bristol, TN/VA (July 28, 2023)— On Friday, August 4, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., downtown will be filled with car enthusiasts as Antique Automobile Club of America – Appalachian Region hosts another Hot Bristol Night on State Street! In addition to the car show, Believe in Bristol will be hosting a nine hole mini golf challenge from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in collaboration with local retailers, restaurants, and bars.

Gates open for car show entrants at 4:00 p.m. with a $20 per vehicle fee. Car show entrants must enter from Goode Street and will not be able to exit until 9:00 p.m. No trailers or tents will be allowed, due to parking restraints. For more information, call Jamey Rector at (423) 383-2322.

For the mini golf challenge, participants get to play nine holes in any order they wish, and receive a scorecard and pencil at their first stop. There will be a left handed, a right handed, and child size putter at each hole. Participants will turn in their scorecard when they are finished putting, for a chance to win a downtown prize pack, including gift certificates and other items donated by downtown businesses.
