Imagine thousands of happy people passing by your cart, entertainment, display or activity. Ride the Drive is a great place to showcase your product, business or service. You have three options and most vendor fees are waived. 

Be Part of the Action

You have three options to be part of the action:

  • Park Hub vendor, exhibitor, performer or entertainment
    • Offered at Olin Park, Law Park and McPike Park
  • Route vendor, exhibitor, performer or entertainment
    • Set up your display, activity or entertainment along John Nolen Drive
  • Business on the Route
    • If your business is located along the route (see map) let us know what you're doing to engage with RTD'ers.
    • Suggestions include offering an exclusive RTD special or discount.

All vendors, performers and exhibitors must register in advance. Businesses along the route must register to be included in event promotions.

Select the option that works best for you - either Park Hub, John Nolen Drive Route or Business on Route. Go to the steps to create an account or register directly by selecting the registration button and signing into your existing account.  Vendor registration closes at 11:45pm on Wednesday, July 30.
