Nashville Bicycle Festival – April 2026

Let’s ride a bike!
Rounding the corner into its FOURTH YEAR is the
Nashville Bicycle Festival
This event brings together a wide variety of bicycling enthusiasts – from supporters to mechanics, from beginners to experienced cyclists, from commuters to mountain bikers to cargo haulers and more.
When: Saturday, April 18th, 10A-2P
Where: South Inglewood Community Center, 1624 Rebecca Street (approach from Moore Street if not on foot/on a bike)
What: Block printing of bicycle art (bring your own t-shirt if you want!), slow bicycle race, helmet fittings & giveaways, bike sizing & giveaways, rider & bicycle visibility station, & more. See our participant list below!
New this year: a limited edition festival poster designed by our friend David G and available for sale! Printed with a risograph, this fun design uses elements from a bike lane network map of Nashville as well as a quirky stylistic bicycle.

Do you want to help volunteer at the festival? Thank you! Sign up here.
Bike Fun is grateful to have received a grant for a fourth year from the Inglewood Neighborhood Association in support of this event. We are also thankful for our location partner, the South Inglewood Community Center!
If there’s inclement weather, the Bicycle Festival will be held inside the South Inglewood Community Center. Otherwise, we’ll be outside!
