Held at the beautiful Gering Plaza, this annual event brings together local merchants, entertainment, and interactive experiences in a lively outdoor setting.

This year’s Summer Bash will take place later in the day from 4–7 p.m., allowing families to enjoy cooler temperatures while spending time together outdoors. Guests can enjoy games, food vendors, live entertainment, bounce houses, and a colorful chalk art competition that transforms the Plaza into a creative community canvas.

Bring your lawn chairs, explore downtown businesses, and make memories at this fun-filled community celebration.
