Join us for the annual Bois d’Arc Bash celebration held on the square in downtown Commerce, Texas – the Bois d’Arc Capital of Texas!

Since 1986, Commerce has been honoring the resilient bois d’arc tree (pronounced “bow-dark”) with the lively Bois d’Arc Bash. This unique and tough tree, also known as an Osage orange tree, hedge apple tree, or horse apple tree, deserves a weekend of fun and festivities, and we want you to be part of it!

Get ready for a fantastic time with your family and friends. The Bash offers a wide range of exciting activities and attractions, including:

 Entertainment
Live Music
Food and Drink Vendors
Over 125 Shopping Booths and Displays on Saturday
Golf Tournament on Thursday, September 14th
Parade on Saturday

Best of all, admission to the event is FREE for the public, thanks to the Commerce Chamber of Commerce and our generous sponsors. Please note that dogs are not allowed on the square during the Bash, as per city ordinance.
