StreetFest burst out of the streets of East London 15 years ago with a mission to celebrate and support the very best of street culture. Our aim is build a community of community of collective creativity through the interaction between artists and customers.
The urban backdrop of StreetFest sees a selection of local and internationally celebrated graffiti & street artists, painters, illustrators & tattooists, creating a colourful kaleidoscope of murals and live art in and around the festival. With live music, spoken word, street dance, workshops, live MC’s & sound systems, alongside live demonstrations and top tricks from BMX Champions, Skate Fanatics and In-Line Skate Gurus.
Get ready for an explosive musical experience at StreetFest! Our dynamic programme perfectly embodies the festival’s energy with a mix of both established and up-and-coming artists, bands, and DJs from the urban scene.
We’re constantly on the lookout for new talent and are proud to have given a platform to incredible artists such as Afrikan Boy, Ego Ella May, Stush, Goldie, Miss Dynamite, Loyle Carner, Oddisee, Professor Green, HUDSON, Wretch 32, Devlin, Maverick Sabre, and Ghost Poet.
But as we’ve grown, we’ve made sure we stay true to our roots with a second ‘On The Rise’ stage for raw underground talent to perform.
The sports arena has grown massively over the years, and brings its own unique energy to the festival. We bring together the best skaters, in-liners, parkourists, and BMXers for professional demos packed with tricks and stunts!.
It’s not just for show, we’ve got regional heats leading up to the big day, and the finalists showcase their skills in front of you & battle it out in interactive competitions.
Our dance shows and battles draw massive crowds throughout the day! We bring together an explosive mix of dancers from different styles and backgrounds, like Hip-Hop, Street Dance, Parkour, and B-Boy, to deliver some mind-blowing performances and epic battles. It’s the perfect stage to showcase the talent and keep the crowd hyped, with workshops for those that want to give it a try…

Visual arts are paramount to us at StreetFest and its a real privilege having the opportunity to partner and collaborate with trailblazers in film and animation such as Secret Cinema, Cut & Paste, See No Evil, and Future Shorts. By working with both established and emerging independent directors we strive to drop some of the best indie shows around.

Just like the old school raves and parties, we’re keeping the venue under wraps for now, but trust us, good things come to those who wait! We’re currently in negotiations for an incredible central London location that will take the event to another level.
