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!
