Bulldog Bash 2024

Bulldog Bash, Yale's free annual celebration to welcome new students is turning five and running away with the circus. All Yale students are invited to experience the music, games, giveaways, food, and a thousand new friends - all converging on Old Campus. 

Move to the uplifting beats of DJ Yongolailan. Feel the energy of Sxip Shirey & The Jank Band accompanied by circus and acrobatic artists on stage. Be wowed by Ryan Shinji's height-defying chair balance tricks and mesmerized by Keith Nelson's bowl spinning all while Ellie Steingraeber hula hoops into your heart. Dance, dance, dance as The Missing Element brings together world champion beatboxers with street dancers breaking, flexing, and krumping. Grab a selfie with your newest non-human friends the Slobots – roving inflatable sculptures by CERN.

Bulldog Bash 2024 is presented by Yale Schwarzman Center in collaboration with Yale Hospitality and Yale College.
