what is the bois d' arc bash?
The Bois d’ Arc Bash has been a Commerce tradition for generations, bringing together friends, families, alumni, and visitors to celebrate everything that makes our community special. As the Bois d’ Arc Capital of Texas, Commerce proudly embraces the tree that has long been a symbol of our area's heritage and identity, and it's the inspiration behind the festival's name.
This year, we're building on that tradition by bringing back some of the classic elements people have loved over the years while introducing new attractions, entertainment, and experiences for a new generation of Bash-goers. Whether you've attended every year or are planning your first visit, you'll find the same hometown spirit that has made the Bois d’ Arc Bash a community favorite, along with plenty of new reasons to make memories in downtown Commerce.
