Old Campus became a hotspot of music, dance and yummy eats this past Saturday, Aug. 26, as Bulldog Bash returned for its fourth year. 

Kicking off at 8:30 p.m., the free back-to-school music festival had an impressive turnout. As the night progressed, students became immersed in a backdrop of lively music and cheerful conversation. 

The Bulldog Bash … now in its fourth year, celebrates a cross-section of music styles that often share commonalities in their expression.

The Schwarzman Center and Yale Hospitality collaborated with the Yale College Dean’s Office to host the event and prepare its musical lineup.

Jennifer Harrison Newman MFA ’11, the Schwarzman Center’s associate artistic director, praised the featured bands’ artistry. She added that she thought the bands — Sol and The Tribu, Red Baraat and Tank and the Bangas — each brought a high level of musicianship and artistry. Musical styles including ska, punk and bhangra permeated Old Campus.
