Bulldog Bash™ was created in 1999 to help kick off SEC football play for the Mississippi State University Bulldogs and is designed to bring the University Student Body, Alumni, and the community together in one night of fun. Since it's inception 19 years ago, Bulldog Bash™ has strived to be the most successful student led concert event in the entire southeast. In it's initial year, Bulldog Bash™ drew a crowd of around 2,000, but has grown tremendously throughout its history. Bulldog Bash™ now hosts crowds exceeding 35,000 students, alumni and fans of the MSU Bulldogs.
