Nashville’s Smoky Moutian Rodeo Association (SMRA) has a busy summer planned, starting off with its second annual pub crawl and ending with the crowning of Mr. Bud Light – Nashville. And, in between, a trip to Atlanta’s gay rodeo.

Climb aboard SMRA’s double-decker British-style bus as part of a pub crawl set for Saturday June 11 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.

FADD’s party bus, a double-decker British-style bus, will shuttle patrons from different bars in Nashville. Tickets can be purchased for $30 by calling 615-202-1992. The night includes five hours of bar hopping, prizes, music, dancing and drinking. Patrons may bring their own drinks on the bus.

Bars that will be part of the pub crawl include The Chute, Lipstick Lounge, Gas Lite, DeVil's and a "mystery bar".

All tickets must be purchased in advance.
