Bull ride, line dance, and groove to country music at the 2024 Stampede Street Party

Music City’s professional bull riders are hosting a free three-day street party in mid-August — no bull.

Five professional bull riders wave their cowboy hats to the crowd.

Next weekend, Bridgestone Arena will host Stampede Days: three days of bull riding between national teams including our very own Nashville Stampede.

If you don’t have tickets to watch the bull riding games, you’re in luck. Nashville Stampede is hosting a free three-day, family-friendly street party to celebrate.

Grab the bull by the horns and jump into highlights:

  • Find the Stampede Street Party on Rep. John Lewis Way S. in front of Bridgestone Arena.
  • The party starts at 12 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 16, 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17, and 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18.
  • Meet special guests like Nashville Stampede athletes and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Driver Ben Rhodes.
  • Musical acts include Andy Velo, Mae Estes, Sam L. Smith, and Charly Reynolds.
  • Take line dancing lessons from local pro Darcy Lyn + attempt your own eight-second ride on a mechanical bull.
