The owners and staff of Bash on the Bay have decided to pause the event for 2026. Having the event during the week poses many difficult hurdles. We are working on moving the festival to Friday and Saturday. If that is not possible on Put-in-Bay we will explore new venues, possibly on the mainland. We appreciate all the fan support over the past 10 years for the 8 shows we have done and look forward to many more!
