Bed Race
Bed Race
You won’t have to wonder if you’re dreaming….there really WILL be beds flying down Main Street! As one of the crowd-pleasing favorite Three Rivers Festival events, the Bed Race delights spectators with fast, funny and uniquely created beds -- all on wheels -- as their five person teams parade down Main Street in front of the City-County Building, starting at 6:30.
After the Bed Parade, each team (one bed rider and four teammates) will be pushing, pulling or sprinting to the finish line, for $1,000 in prizes. The event is free for spectators.
Prizes are awarded in four categories for Best Decorated and Fastest Beds.
NEW! People's Choice category - Vote with a Buck for your favorite bed, with all proceeds going to Mustard Seed's Beds 4 Kids program!
Why miss out on the fun? Start planning your own Bed Race entry, and get ready for a wild ride!
