Bells Big Bed Race

Get geared up, fluff your pillows, and grease your wheels!

The THIRD annual Bell’s Big Bed Race is scheduled for

Saturday, April 21, 2018, from 9a.m. to 12p.m.!

WHAT TO EXPECT  Bell’s Big Bed Race is a quirky,  super fun, family-friendly event to raise funds and awareness for all the great work accomplished by Bell Socialization Services in the past 50 years, and specifically the programs that help local people find safe, affordable housing, including a bed to sleep in at night.

Teams of five — four pushers and one rider — build and decorate race-worthy beds (guidelines) and race against other teams in one-on-one heats with spectators cheering them to a rousing, high-energy win.  (Check out this footage from a previous event.)

Event day kicks off at 9:00 a.m. with a Parade of Beds led by the 2018 parade Grand Marshal.

Racing begins immediately after the parade and will run until about 11:30, concluding with the awards presentation.

GETTING THERE  The 2018 event will be held on N. Beaver Street, in York, just a half block from downtown York’s Go Green in the City festivities happening the same day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.   For directions to the event site from where you live, use 135 N. Beaver Street, York PA 17401 on as the address.
