Art / Upfest 2022

In photos & video: Bristol’s Upfest 2022

By Betty Woolerton  Saturday May 28, 2022

Upfest, the largest street art and graffiti festival in Europe, landed with a colourful splash in Bedminster at the weekend.

Since the beginning of May, walls around south Bristol have been transformed by its return, with more than 80 new murals and artworks created to mark the internationally-renowned event in its 15th year.

The weekend signposts the end of the month of street art celebrations with up to 400 artists taking over Greville Smyth Park and Ashton Gate Stadium for live painting.
