Bristol: Border Bash
July 23, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
After taking a pause in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Border Bash celebrates it’s return to historic Downtown Bristol! Border Bash, Bristol’s premier summer concert series, is back for another amazing season starting June 4, 2021! Hosted by Believe in Bristol, Border Bash is about fun, family, great music, and creating memories to last a lifetime.
Border Bash, a free summer concert held annually, celebrates its return to State Street. The series includes children’s activities, arts & craft and food vendors, in addition to live music and much more. All the events will rotate along State Street this year, and the Star Spangled July 4th Border Bash will be held in Cumberland Square Park.
“We are always excited when it’s time for Border Bash, but this year is extra sweet after taking the year off in 2020 due to the pandemic. It is an opportunity to bring great music back to our downtown and bring the community back together during the summer months. Believe in Bristol is proud to have brought this event to the community for twenty years, and we’re ready to continue bringing live music to our community in historic Downtown Bristol,” stated Maggie Elliott, Executive Director, Believe in Bristol.
