Red Bull Walk the Line will take over Lower Broadway this Saturday, showcasing
professional slacklining. Athletes will alight a two-inch slackline thirty feet above the
streets of Lower Broadway to perform stunts for a panel of four judges.
The event begins at 6 p.m. with slacklining beginning 15 minutes later. Additional
slacklining sessions will occur at a quarter past each hour until 9:15. There will also be
musical performances at 7, 8 and 9 pm, headlined by singer-songwriter Charlie
Worsham. Activities will conclude with an awards ceremony and musical performance
from 9:45-10.
The event will be held between First and Second Avenue North on Broadway
and can be taken in from the street or one of many rooftop bars. There are multiple paid
public parking lots available downtown, including at the convention center, but event
organizers suggest using a rideshare.
