In the maze of food trucks, pop-up art shops and beer stands, children on bikes pedaled along the sidewalks of Depot Park while thousands of rock ‘n’ roll and blues fans huddled around the three stages spread across the green festival grounds. 

The BASH — a three-day music festival featuring national, regional and local rock 'n' roll, Americana, blues, soul and country artists — took over Depot Park this weekend. The festival began Nov. 4 with a VIP kick-off party that included exclusive performances by Patterson Hood, Drive-By Truckers and more. 

The event was open to free general admission passholders. In addition to music, more than 70 arts, crafts and food vendors were also present.
