Border Bash, a free summer concert series held annually, is back for its 25th season starting June 16, 2025! Hosted by Believe in Bristol, Border Bash is about fun, family, great music, and creating memories to last a lifetime.
This year, Border Bash celebrates its 25th Anniversary on State Street! The series includes children’s activities, local arts and crafts vendors, and food trucks, in addition to live music and much more. We are proud to be celebrating 25 years of free, live music in Downtown Bristol!
