Tour History

Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop in New York

While also serving to promote the then-upcoming seventh season of Barney & Friends, the tour also celebrated the tenth anniversary of the show's airing on PBS. The first tour show was performed on August 17th, 2002 at Battery Park in Lower Manhattan to a crowd of 10,000; it was presented by WNET New York as well as Fisher-Price.

Crowds of 7 to 8,000 fans attended the following shows at Grizzlies Ball Park in Fresno, California and at another park in Bentonville, Arkansas.

The tour also served as the kickoff to Lyons' goodwill partnership with pediatric hospitals' Child Life programs, where Barney was set to appear at hospital centers throughout the tour. Additionally, Barney Home Videos were donated alongside Fisher-Price Barney toys to the visited hospitals.

For the El Paso, TX show, the tour was known as Barney on the Border, and titled Barney's Music City Sing Along in Nashville, TN.
