When the sun dips low over the desert, the real show begins. Multiple nights at Bash, we turn up the volume with live performances that bring the energy of the big city to our wild little corner of Arizona. From gritty rock bands out of Las Vegas to soulful acts from LA and beyond, we hand-pick incredible touring talent to keep the party going all week long.
But the Bash stage isn’t just for the pros. Some of our most unforgettable sets come from the talented members of the Xscapers community. During our legendary Happy Hour sessions, you’ll catch fellow attendees stepping into the spotlight with acoustic sets, original songs, and high-energy jams. Whether you’re dancing in the dirt or kicking back with a drink in hand, the music never disappoints.
It’s not just background noise, it’s a soundtrack for the road trip of a lifetime.
From jaw-dropping acrobatics to heartfelt ballads, bizarre magic tricks to stand-up that’ll leave you crying-laughing, Xscapers Got Talent is a no-holds-barred celebration of the weird, wild, and wonderfully talented folks in our community. This isn’t a competition. It’s a come-as-you-are, show-us-what-you’ve-got kind of night where creativity takes center stage.
Musicians, poets, comedians, fire-spinners, dancers, mind-readers—if you’ve got a talent (or something close to it), we want to see it. And the rest of us? We’ll be there hooting, hollering, and cheering you on like you just landed a Vegas residency.
It’s chaotic. It’s heartfelt. It’s Bash.
Rally your crew of 4–6 (or come solo—we’ll draft you onto a team) and prepare for an evening of ridiculous games, rowdy competition, and nonstop laughs. The Xscapers Olympics is one of the wildest nights of the week, and trust us: it’s way more fun on the field than on the sidelines.
Kicking things off? Our iconic opening ceremonies—complete with a full-on onesie parade and the ceremonial lighting of the flaming X. From then on, it’s game on. The events are silly, the stakes are low, and the glory is eternal.*
*Glory may come in the form of bragging rights, dangles, and blurry photos.
Meet the neighbors, make some memories.
Block Parties are your chance to connect with the Xscapers parked right alongside you. Each section has its own cozy gathering spot—help decorate your tent, then pull out your chairs, light up those faux fires, and settle in for a laid-back night of conversation, laughter, and instant community.
No pressure, no agenda—just a great excuse to kick back and get to know the folks who’ll be your homebase crew all week long. Whether you’re a returning Bash veteran or brand new to the tribe, this is where friendships start.
Think RV open house meets progressive dinner meets block party chaos—and you’re halfway there.
The All-Day Lot Crawl is one of the most unique Bash experiences: each parking section hosts a themed hour of fun with drinks, snacks, and over-the-top decorations. You’ll kick things off by repping your own section, serving up a little hospitality and a whole lot of flair. After that? You roam. Crawl your way through the rest of the event, sampling treats, meeting new friends, and checking out some wildly creative RV setups.
You don’t need to feed the entire Bash, just plan enough goodies and drinks to keep your fellow crawlers happy during your section’s spotlight. Check the app before the event to see what your section is serving—and start plotting your setup now.
Bring your best—or boldest—and let the Bash crowd be the judge.
Our Food & Drink Competitions are all about classic comfort and community-fueled chaos. First up: the Classic Cocktail Competition. While this isn’t your grandma’s RV rally, these are her cocktails. Think Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Tom Collins, and other timeless staples. Shake (or stir) up your best version and let your fellow Xscapers vote for the most legendary pour—or the most questionable attempt.
Then it’s time for the Casserole Clash, where culinary pride meets casserole culture. Whether you’re crafting a Midwest masterpiece or a wild experimental bake, there’s room at the table. Hot dish, breakfast bake, tater tot tower—it’s all fair game.
Bring your creation, share it with the crowd, and see if you walk away with glory, shame, or just an empty dish. Either way, it’s all in good fun—and yes, there will be dangles.
Whether you’re looking to break a sweat or take a deep breath, Sports & Wellness at Bash has you covered.
Join your fellow Xscapers for everything from high-energy field games like kickball and pickleball to grounding practices like yoga, breathwork, and functional fitness classes. It’s all about moving your body, clearing your mind, and having a damn good time while doing it.
No experience needed—just show up, stretch out, and play hard (or chill hard). Whether you’re chasing a ball or chasing your center, there’s space for you here.
Come see what your fellow Xscapers are creating, crafting, and offering!
The Member Marketplace is your chance to explore unique items and helpful services—all brought to you by members of the Xscapers community. From handmade goods and custom art to travel services and digital skills, there’s no telling what gems you’ll find.
Want to showcase your own work? There’s no fee to participate, and we’ll provide you with 4 feet of table space to do your thing. Signup info will be shared prior to the event—so keep an eye out!
Back for its fourth year, the Silent Auction for CARE is your chance to score something great and support a meaningful cause.
All proceeds go to Escapees CARE, a nonprofit that provides a safety net for Escapees members in need. Auction items include donations from our generous sponsors, hand-crafted creations from fellow Xscapers, and high-quality goods or services provided by attendees—maybe even you!
We’re looking for new or gently used high-value items, handmade goods, or professional services to add to the lineup. If you’ve got something to donate, reach out and be part of this incredible community tradition.
Bid big, bid often, and know it’s all for a good cause.
