Since its inception in 2000, Border Bash has grown from a modest gathering in a quiet city center into a signature summer tradition in a vibrant downtown. Over the past 25 years, the series has brought free live music, local vendors, and family-friendly fun to the heart of Downtown Bristol, showcasing a diverse array of musical talents, from local favorites to nationally recognized artists.

“Border Bash has become more than just a concert series; it’s a celebration of our community’s spirit and resilience,” said Maggie Elliott, Executive Director of Believe in Bristol. “We’re excited to honor 25 years of music, memories, and community connection, and we look forward to sharing this special season with everyone.”​
