About Put-in-Bay’s Largest Upcoming Event
Put-in-Bay Ohio will be hosting its 8th annual Bash on the Bay. People from all over the United States make their way across the Miller Ferry or Jet Express to be entertained by live music and a fun island crowd. Luckily, the Put-in-Bay ferries will be running an extended schedule for people coming up just for the day. The Miller Ferry departs from Catawba Island Point. Meanwhile, the Jet Express departs from Port Clinton.
In the years prior, visitors from Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, and other cities across the United States came to our Lake Erie Island to enjoy the show. Visitors rent golf carts and tour the island until it was time to head to the Put-in-Bay concert. Get ready to have an amazing time on the island concert-goers! This year’s bash will be the best one yet!

After a one year break due to Covid, Bash on the Bay returned in 2021 with Blake Shelton and Keith Urban. They were meant to be the performers in 2020 before Covid shelved the show, and they graciously came back to do it in 2021!
Zac Brown Band and Brad Paisley were the stars of 2022!
2023 looked on paper to be the biggest Bash on the Bay ever, and for a night, it was, with Pitbull delighting the Put-in-Bay Airport crowd. Luke Bryan was meant to headline night two, but the island had another headline instead, Generational Storm Rocks South Bass Island. Torrential rain, incredible winds and unprecedented flooding shelved the Luke Bryan
BASH ON THE BAY 2024
August 21st: Jelly Roll
Jelly Roll is a huge name in country music right now, coming off some big wins at the CMT Music Awards this year for his song “Son of a Sinner.” Jelly Roll got his start in the hip hop and rap scene, collaborating with mid 2010’s rap icons, Lil Wyte and Tech N9ne. Now, Jelly Roll blends rap and country into his own sound, with mainstream success finally earned after years of creating music.
Opening acts:
– Oliver Anthony
– Warren Zeiders
– Ashland Craft
– Logan Crosby
August 22nd: HARDY
Hardy’s path to fame has also been winding, but unlike Jelly Roll, has been country from the get go. However, his initial forays into country music were not behind the microphone. Instead, he wrote hit songs for other massive country acts like Morgan Wallen and Florida Georgia Line. In fact, it was a collaboration of both those artists with Hardy that led to the Morgan Wallen megahit Up Down, which Hardy wrote. As this was all happening, Hardy began to perform some of his own songs, and his solo career has been trending upward ever since!
Opening acts:
– Ernest
– Drake White and the Big Fire
– Tigirlily Gold
– Cory Farley
