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
What: Block printing of bicycle art (bring your own t-shirt if you want!), slow bicycle race, helmet fittings & giveaways, bike sizing & giveaways, gear swap table, rider & bicycle visibility station, & more. See our participant list below!
New this year: a limited edition festival poster designed by our friend David Greaves and available for sale for suggested donation of $10! 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? Sign ups are closed but come on by & check in at the Bike Fun booth!
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!
Weather watch for Saturday: Some rain is expected but not until later in the afternoon! We are revising the schedule a little bit just in case – see below for details!
