The BASH features national, regional, and local artists and showcases hometown heritage through art and dance, music tributes, food, libations, and family fun. The festival will kick-off the holiday lights at Depot Park for the season.

Artists range from rock 'n' roll, Americana, blues, soul, and country and there will be tributes to local legends like Tom Petty, Charles Bradley and Bo Diddley.

The BASH is FREE to attend. To keep the festival free for the general public, we rely on sponsors, donations and community support. If you'd like to help, upgrade your experience to a VIP Package and receive great benefits like prime views on front of the Main Stage, merch, intimate performances and more. This is also a way for The BASH to make a bigger impact in Gainesville by providing support to local charities.
