Boro Fondo is a non-profit cycling, music and arts festival in Murfreesboro, TN that focuses on enriching the local musical and artistic communities while promoting pedestrian safety…and maybe also having a little fun.
How do you “Boro Fondo?”
Boro Fondo is Tennessee’s only free all-ages cycling, arts and music festival. Held annually in the college town of Murfreesboro, the festival seeks to bring hundreds of bikes to the streets while strengthening the pedestrian and artistic communities of Middle Tennessee.

The Boro Fondo Mission
Our Philosophy
We believe that the music and art of this area belongs to the members of this community. We hope to expose people to new avenues of local culture that they may have been unaware of while simultaneously bringing awareness to the local cycling community and promoting pedestrian safety.
Our Story
Boro Fondo started as “Tour De Fun” in 2009. The original founder took the “Tour De Fun” name with him to Nashville in 2011, thus Boro Fondo was born in the tradition of European cycling festivals. The cast of staffers and planners has rotated over the years, but the spirit of the festival remains the same as the day it was conceived.
How it Works:
We all meet up in one place at the beginning of the main day of the festival, typically at the first venue of the day. In addition to the multiple bands at each stop, you can take in art from local creators who are exhibiting and selling their work. This process repeats itself until the wee hours of the morning — usually resulting in close to 50 musical acts, 20 artists and 6 or so stops at local businesses, venues and, like, just some guy’s house. Be sure to follow us on social media for more information regarding the map and venue locations, as well as directions for our Friday and Sunday lineups.
