Family-friendly hobby horse races at Bells Bend Park during Farm Day, a celebration of Nashville's agricultural roots with hands-on farm activities.
Hobby Horse Racing is happening at Bells Bend Park on Saturday, October 10, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. It's one of the activities during Farm Day, a day that celebrates Nashville's agricultural roots with hands-on farm activities, demonstrations, and local vendors. The racing is run by Outdoor Nashville as part of Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation's autumn offering, and it's aimed at kids and adults alike: you grab a hobby horse and race through the park.
Because it's part of Farm Day, the racing doesn't stand alone. The whole day is built around Nashville's farming history, so you'll find other farm-themed activities and demonstrations running alongside it, with local vendors on site. It's the kind of event that works for a family outing—the racing is the main draw here, but there's plenty more to do around the park if you're staying for more than one activity.
Outdoor Nashville is the group behind it, and the event is part of the broader autumn schedule from Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation. The hobby horse racing is open to all ages, so it's as much for the adults as it is for the kids. You don't need to sign up in advance, either—no registration required, just show up and get involved.
