BAM!Fest (Bradenton Art & Music Festival) is a free event that will transform the Riverwalk on Saturday, April 5 from 11AM to 7PM into a dynamic, diverse, immersive art and music experience from bridge to bridge!

This community collaboration is coordinated by Realize Bradenton and includes musicians from a variety of genres on multiple stages, pop up performance acts along the Riverwalk, live creation of large-scale visual art, interactive art projects, local art for sale, and culinary treats from local food vendors.

With so much to experience at BAM!Fest, there is something for everyone! 

  • GREAT BIG ART ~ The Great Lawn will feature fun for all ages with demonstrations from local artists and large-scale interactive art.
  • ART TOWER ~ The Banner Tower will become the easel for local artists as you watch them create large paintings while enjoying local musicians and food. And be sure to add your own artistic touch to the community mural.
  • BAM!SLAM ~ Enjoy a wide variety of exciting and unique short performances at the Mosaic Amphitheater.
  • PAVILION PARTY ~ Rock out with bands from a variety of genres while surrounded by large scale visual art pieces in the Pavilion at Rossi Park. An array of delicious food and beverages will be available to enjoy.
  • MEANDERING MARKET ~ Meet local artists and take home one-of-a-kind treasures as you meander along the Riverwalk enjoying street performers and local food.
  • SANDCASTLE BEACH ~ Relax to live beach music and enjoy local food and drinks at the Tiki Bar as an epic sandcastle is sculpted in the sand volleyball courts. Everyone will have the opportunity to get their hands in the sand and learn how to build impressive sandcastles.
