Gameday's Best Tailgate
Join us 2½ hours before kickoff, every football home game, for gameday's best tailgate. Just steps from Camp Randall Stadium at Union South, Badger Bash offers food, drinks and entertainment—indoors and out.
At Badger Bash, there's something for everyone! Whether you're enjoying food to fuel up for the big game, listening and dancing along to the Badger Band, grabbing free goodies on Orchard Street, or just looking for a lively tailgate atmosphere, Badger Bash is sure to deliver.
The Union has hosted the beloved, family-friendly Badger Bash since 1972. This event is free and open to the public. We welcome our opponents' fans, too. The more, the merrier!
Here's What to Expect:
- UW–Madison Marching Band performance (approx. 1.5 hrs before kickoff)
- UW–Madison Spirit Squad performances
- Local celebrity emcees
- Fun & games by our sponsors
- Live music
- Fresh, hot food & beverage options
