Garden Party - Celebrating 50 years of Music at The Trinity Centre
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Free entry!?1 50 years of community music and culture distilled into one sun-dappled bass odyssey. We’re never one to miss a Garden Party, but this year’s something else, with Bristol trip hop street soul icons Smith & Mighty returning for the big birthday, live one-drop reggae explosions from the Golden Guild, jab house and soca on the decks from Stormy J – plus workshops, food, family-friendly activities and strictly good vibes."
