Ever wonder how we keep the Bash 100% FREE for our community every year? It’s all thanks to an incredible team of volunteers who love Clear Lake just as much as we do! ☀️✨

From the setup crew to the hospitality team, our volunteers are the heart and soul of this festival. We have a blast working together to make August 15th happen, and we’d love for YOU to be a part of the family this year! 🤝🎸

Whether you’re a pro at greeting guests, helping with the Kids Zone, or just want to lend a hand behind the scenes, there is a spot on the team for you. It’s a front-row seat to the best day of the summer and a great way to give back to our amazing town. 🌳🎡

NEW TO THE LINEUP: TRU-SERVA! 🎤🔥

Bash Nation, we are so excited to announce a powerful new addition to our 2026 stage! Join us in giving a huge welcome to Marcus Montana, better against known as TRU-SERVA!

Hailing from the bayou of Lacombe, Louisiana, TRU-SERVA brings a high-energy hip-hop sound with a deep-rooted mission. After a life-changing encounter with Christ at age 16, he turned his talent toward music that bridges the gap between the streets and the church.

He’s an overcomer with a message of hope for every generation, and he’s coming to Clear Lake City Park on AUGUST 15 to help us tear down the walls and get out of our seats!

🎥 HEAR THE MESSAGE: Tap over to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKO870TrAsE to check out his music and see the heart and energy he is bringing to the lake this summer.

This is a FREE event for the whole family! Who’s ready to bring the energy for TRU-SERVA? 🙋‍♂️🙌

We might be a little biased, but we think Clear Lake City Park is one of the most beautiful spots in Iowa! ☀️ There is something truly special about gathering under these trees, feeling the lake breeze, and lifting our voices together on the shores of the lake.

As we celebrate Earth Day, we are so grateful for this incredible space that hosts our event and supports other community events year after year. We want to keep it looking pristine for generations to come!

A quick Bash reminder: As we enjoy the park on August 15th, let’s work together to "leave no trace." By simply picking up our garbage and keeping the grass clean, we make sure the park stays beautiful for everyone who visits after us. 🚮✨

We can’t wait to see this park filled with worship, laughter and all of YOU soon! See you at the bandshell! 🎸🙌

The best memories are the ones you don't have to plan—you just get to show up and enjoy! 🎨🍦

While the music on the main stage is incredible, the Bash experience starts way before the first note hits. We are talking yard games, inflatables and a whole afternoon of FREE activities designed just for the kids (and the young at heart!). ☀️🏃‍♂️

Our goal is to make Clear Lake City Park the ultimate family destination on AUGUST 15. You bring the lawn chairs and the crew; we’ll provide the laughter and the fun!

No tickets, no fees—just a day dedicated to faith, family, and community. 🎟️❌

We have a quick update regarding our 2026 lineup! Due to some unforeseen scheduling conflicts, Allison Eide is no longer able to join us this August. We’re bummed she won't be with us this year, but don't worry—we love Allison and can't wait to have her back on the Bash stage in the future! 🤍
