Bridge Day 2013 map

Bridge Day brings in vendors and entertainment from all over! Here\'s a list of vendors and a map of the festivities to give you an idea of where to go and what to expect.

We have so many amazing vendors this year, and we hope you stop by each!

Here are just 10 of the many we\'re looking forward to:

1. Dog Tags from Subaru

Our sponsor, Subaru, will be engraving dog tags for Bridge Day visitors in exchange for donations to the New River Humane Society. Stop by their booths, (1) and get something nice for your pet while doing something to help other animals in need as well. (Plus, it\'s a great way to make it up to Fido for not being allowed to join you at Bridge Day!)

2. BASE chute packing

Do you want to see part of the behind-the-scenes of BASE? Jumpers will be packing their parachutes at booth 13. Watch & learn!

3. Wifi & Certificates from Suddenlink

Want to share your photos? Suddenlink will have a free Wifi hotspot set up at booths 67-69 so you can quickly share your Bridge Day experience. We\'d love if you share your pictures with us, too! You can find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Use the hashtag #BridgeDay or mention us, @bridgeday.

And, Suddenlink will also give you your own "I Walked the Bridge" certificate to remember your Bridge Day by!

4. Fun Factory Entertainment

Get into the action with a rock climb or a jump on the Fun Factory\'s climbing wall and bounce station at booth 175.

5. Hat from IWI Athletics

Complete your Bridge Day outfit! IWI athletics will be selling official Bridge Day hats at booth 16. Snag the accessory now, sport it on the bridge, then use it next summer to shield your eyes from the sun when you\'re adventuring.

The fourth in the official Bridge Day shirt series will be out this year! Get one at the official Bridge Day tents or at the Sustain U Clothing booth (29), and add it to your collection of commemorative tees.
