BUMP Festival 2023 will kick off with Graff Jam!

Thursday July 20, 2023

Our annual Graffiti Jam is coming back to High Park! This fantastic yearly event brings together 6 graffiti artists from all over Canada for a day of live graffiti writing to a backdrop of amazing music from the rising electronic DJ gang Back & Forth, the launch of our 2023 BUMP Beer with Establishment Brewing Company, a 3×3 basketball tournament and much more. To top it all off, like all of our events, the Graff Jam will be free entry !

Graffiti sits at the heart and soul of public art and has played a massive role in the evolution of our festival. The 2023 Graff Jam will bring together an array of experienced graffiti artists to connect the community while kicking off our August festival. We are setting the tone for a month of playful murals, artistic expression, and energy that will take over the Calgary Beltline and surrounding areas – we can’t wait to start our festival journey with you on Aug 5! 

So join us for a fun day of live art and get to know the BUMP community at our kick off event. Please spread the word – we would love to see the whole city up on the High Park rooftop!

HASR / CASE TDV / SIRVIS / WIZWON / ONIONHEAD / DRE
