UPFEST 2023 ANNOUNCEMENT

Europe’s largest street art festival, Upfest, will move to a biannual model, taking a break in 2023, following the rise in infrastructure costs.
 
After an incredible 2022 festival we have made the tough decision to not hold the festival in 2023 so we can focus attention into planning ahead for 2024 with another stellar line-up of artists.
 
Upfest is a highly anticipated event on Bristol’s cultural calendar which attracts over 50,000 visitors to the festival across the weekend. As one of the city's largest free-to-attend festivals, it is important to us that it remains a free festival for everyone to attend.
 
The Upfest team will focus on other projects and interventions throughout 2023 including artist exhibitions at their North Street Gallery, as well as getting a head start on 2024 planning.
