Nashville Stampede, the city’s first-ever professional bull riding team will host a free, family-friendly street festival in tandem with PBR Stampede Days, the three-day homestand, this weekend (Aug. 18-20).

The Stampede Street Party will take over Rep. John Lewis Way S, between Broadway and Demonbreun, opening at 12 p.m. on Friday (Aug. 18) and at 10 a.m. on Saturday (Aug. 19) and Sunday (Aug. 20). Following Stampede Days bull riding games Aug. 18-19, the party will move to Broadway where Ole Red will host the Official Stampede After Party beginning at 10 p.m. on Friday and 9 p.m. on Saturday.

The Stampede Days Street Party will feature a daily theme, rallying those in attendance ahead of the day’s bull riding games inside Bridgestone Arena during the fourth event of the 10-event PBR Camping World Team Series regular season. Each day, fans will be able to get up close with founding members of the PBR Teams League, including the reigning Champion Nashville Stampede and some of the sport’s top animal athletes, all the while testing their skills atop a mechanical bull.

On Friday, the event will celebrate Champions Day, commemorating the team’s return to Bridgestone Arena since making their Cinderella run to be crowned the inaugural PBR Team Series Champions. The second day of festivities on Saturday has been named Ryan Dirteater Day. In 2022, Dirteater came out of retirement to compete in PBR Teams and was drafted by the Nashville Stampede. He went on to become a key member of the team and retired on the dirt after he assisted in the team’s come-from-behind push to win the 2022 PBR Team Series Championship. When the Stampede Street Party will conclude on Sunday with Back The Blue, a celebration Nashville’s champion bull riding team and first responders who work to keep us safe at home and abroad.

The hallmark of the event will be non-stop music all weekend long. Friday’s lineup includes Grammy, ACM and CMA-nominated CJ Field, Platinum-selling songwriter Chancie Neal, American Idol season 16 runner-up Caleb Lee Hutchinson and female progressive country duo and America’s Got Talent season 18 contestant Trailer Flowers.

During the day, attendees will also have the chance to partake in line dancing lessons from Darcy Lyn, who has dazzled for years across Nashville, holding a residency at The Wildhorse Saloon.

Special team-centric programming will accompany the musical acts on Friday. Before the officially opening, the Tractor Supply Co. Stage will host Stampede Days Podcast Row as three of the region’s top podcasters tape live episodes of their shows.

Following Podcast Row, at 12 p.m. on, the party will officially open with the Nashville Stampede Champions Welcome Pep Rally. The whole team will be present, along with the Championship buckle, participating in a meet-and-greet following.
