Report from the biggest street art festival in Europe +photos
This weekend was the peak of this year for street art lovers in Europe, personally I waited this event as nothing else, when Upfest was held in Bristol from 29.07-31.07.
This year it was bigger than last year, it contained a big area within Ashton Gate arena so there were approximately +200 artworks at least.
Artists came from 30 countries and the crowd was quite big there, around 40.000 visited this weekend.
Last year there were more than 300 artists, but I guess this year it was much more. Artists, fresh paintings everywhere!
The main event took place on North Street, streching 1.3 miles long in Bedminster, South Bristol. It is a really rare event and it was so good to see the town coming alive with colors and artists, everywhere you could find a new masterpiece.
Sadly, the rain made the process stop several times but at the end, there was sun!
I have been there for 3 days but I will surely go back soon, I could not discover everything, I know.
Which one do you like the most?
I collected here all my best photos for YOU to enjoy and for me to remember such a great event!

Thanks for sharing
What happens at the end? Do the murals stay there, or does the council come and whitewash everything!?
