About Us
The Upfest Urban Paint Festival is returning to Weston-super-Mare for a fourth year!
From 31st August to 15th September, some of the country's top street artists will be transforming walls in the town into stunning works of art.
Come and watch their giant murals taking shape as we welcome these talented artists back to our town.
Eighteen new murals are expected to be painted, enhancing Weston's reputation as one of the best outdoor street galleries in the South West.
The 2024 festival will also include workshops, live painting, arts activities, and Street Art Tours where you'll learn the stories behind the murals.
It will also feature the return of the Art Jam in the Italian Gardens over the weekend of Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1 when artists will transform giant outdoor canvasses into works of art.
