A heartbreaking update: due to ongoing drought conditions and Boone Lake not returning to full pool this summer, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel America’s Bash 2026.
America’s Bash was created to celebrate our Tri-Cities community — friends and families gathered together on Boone Lake for an unforgettable summer night. Without the lake at full capacity, we know the experience simply wouldn’t be the same.
While we’re incredibly saddened by this decision, we’re already looking ahead to 2027 and praying for rain for our local farmers, lake communities, and everyone who calls this area home.”
The jukebox starts spinning at four — DJ Thomas sets the mood with the classics. If you’re out on the water, the party’s already underway.

Come hungry. We’re serving up elevated takes on American classics — think smash burgers with all the fixings, loaded dogs, hand-cut fries, and a few things that’d make any diner cook proud. Cold drinks, good company, lakeside table optional.
The heart of America’s Bash. We honor those who served with wish fulfillment for deserving veterans — followed by a U.S. Air Force flyover that’ll raise every hair on your arm.
It is our tradition to honor those who have served our nation. We want to give back by granting wishes for deserving veterans — whether it’s a family vacation, a home upgrade, or a meaningful experience.
