Upfest is a street-art and graffiti festival held in the Bedminster and Southville districts of Bristol, England. Since its founding in 2008 by Stephen Hayles, it has grown from a one-day event by twenty artists to what is described as Europe’s largest street-art festival.
Upfest also curates a spin-off event called Weston Wallz in nearby Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, commissioning large-scale murals in the town since 2021.
