Border Bash On State Street - Bristol, VA-TN

Border Bash on State Street

Every third Friday during the warm-weather months of May through September, The 500 block of State Street in downtown Bristol, VA-TN comes alive from 5pm-8pm with the sights and sounds of the monthly "Border Bash".

The appropriately named Border Bash is a monthly "meet & greet" featuring a live band, activities for the children, and vendors selling many interesting items as well as food and drinks. Why is it called the Border Bash? Because the center of the road is the literal state line between Virginia and Tennessee (hence the thoroughfare's name: State Street). 


Today's picture features local band Southern Highway performing last evening at the July 2005 Border Bash. The band delighted the crowd with a wide variety of music ranging from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Garth Brooks while guests young and old danced and enjoyed each other's company.

It's easy to get to the Border Bash - just take Exit 3 of I-81 and go straight into downtown Bristol, then turn left onto State Street. If you're coming from the Johnson City, TN area, follow highway 11E into Bristol and turn right onto State Street. You can't miss it...
