Bash On The Bay Do’s And Don’ts!

We’ve got a showstopping event coming to Bay in just a few short months. Bash On The Bay 2024, hosted by 614 Events, brings country music titans Jelly Roll and Hardy to Put-in-Bay, along with tens of thousands of country music fans from all over the Midwest! If you’ve got it in your mind to be one of them, the first thing you’ll need is tickets, which you can get from the official ticket provider eTix right here! Once you’ve got your tickets, let us help you make your gameplan for this great event!

DO…Make Lodging Reservations

The number of people who are attending the concert far exceed both the on-island accommodations and mainland options. So, it is highly encouraged to seek out Put-in-Bay Hotels and Vacation Rentals early in your planning to secure your spot. Staying for this event will give your group time to not only enjoy the epic concerts, but opportunities to explore the island. Instead of fighting through the crowds arriving for the concert, you can wake up and make your way to the fun, leisurely.

There are a few options for places to stay on Put-in-Bay for Bash on the Bay. First, we are a big proponent of vacation home rentals. With a home you will get so many creature comforts and features simply not found with a hotel room. Private rooms, multiple bathrooms, a full kitchen, propane grill and more make a home at the Island Club an ideal fit for many groups. In addition, there are waterfront lodging options at the Put-in-Bay Condos, for both these comforts and astounding Lake Erie views. With smaller groups though, a hotel room just make more sense. We have those too! Our friends at the Commodore Resort and Victory Station Hotel have the rooms you need for the Bash. They are both located in the downtown Put-in-Bay area with access to all of the great restaurants, bars and shops.

Staying on the island for Bash on the Bay will enhance your overall concert experience. You will be more focused on enjoying the days, rather than having the mad dash to the bash to deal with in traveling on the day of the concert. As mentioned, it is strongly recommended to RSVP early as the spots are very limited. Explore and book today at putinbay.com!

DON’T…Ignore the Rules

To protect the visitors, bands and community for this event, the concert organizers have developed a through plan. This plan brings together law enforcement personnel from many agencies, both local and beyond. They have a comprehensive plan in place to make the Bash on the Bay both a fun and safe environment. Command posts are erected, law enforcement is out in appropriate numbers and onsite security adds to the overall focus on safety.

The careful attention to detail is apparent, as the previous concerts have been very well planned and managed. Keeping concert goers safe and happy is clearly very important to the organizers, and they have done a fantastic job in achieving this objective. Kudos to the cops, sheriffs, patrolmen, firefighters, EMT’s and more who work together to maintain order and safety for the Bash on the Bay. A variety of agencies work in conjunction with the Put-in-Bay Police Department and the Ottawa County Sheriff in these efforts.

DO…Reserve Your Put in Bay Golf Cart

Golf carts and Put in Bay just go together: Period! With such a large influx of visitors for the concert, there will certainly be many more people on the island than golf cart rentals available. The question beckons: what can one do? Easy! With the option to reserve your golf cart in advance, your wheels will be ready for you upon your arrival to the island.
