BAM!Fest – Bradenton Art & Music Festival

BAM!Fest (Bradenton Art & Music Festival) is a free event that will transform the Riverwalk on Saturday, April 5 from 11 am – 7 pm 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.

There are three parking garages in downtown Bradenton that are all free on Saturdays and a short walk to the event entrance:

• City Centre Garage, 200 10th Street West (less than a 5 minute walk)
• Manatee County Garage, 414 10th Street West (5 minute walk)
• Judicial Center Garage, 615 12th Street West (10 minute walk)

When you park in a downtown Bradenton garage, signs will lead you to the pedestrian walkway safely under the Green Bridge to the Riverwalk. 

***Rideshare is encouraged, as we expect steady traffic throughout the day. If you take a ride share such as Freebee, Lyft, or Uber, then you can be dropped off at Manatee Performing Arts Center, 502 3rd Ave W, Bradenton, FL or the Riverwalk Parking Lot, 129 Riverfront Blvd, Bradenton, FL.
