Take our Up Here 12 survey!
Up Here 12 has said goodbye, but we still want to hear from you! Did you attend this year’s festival? Then tell us all the things! We want your input on the goods, bads, and do-betters. If you can spare 10 minutes to fill out our survey, we’ll be forever grateful!
Everyone who participates in this survey will be entered into a draw for a FREE All-access Weekend Pass to Up Here 13 in 2027 and some sweet festival swag!
Up Here is an independent celebration of urban art and emerging music that transforms Sudbury into a boutique cultural experience and open-air gallery.
With the live creation of large-scale murals, immersive art installations, over 50 concerts by emerging artists, and pop-up shows in surprising places, Up Here brings creativity to every corner of town.
It’s an intimate, multi-venue journey on a human scale—an immersive urban adventure unlike any traditional festival. Powered by a generous and passionate community, Up Here is as much about discovery as it is about connection.
The festival is a project of We Live Up Here, a non-profit organization founded in 2012 around the simple idea that art can playfully reshape our community.

Legal Graffiti Wall
From locals shaking a can of spray paint for the first time to seasoned street artists ripping burners as they pass through town, Sudbury’s only legal graffiti wall has seen a lot of action since 2018.
We live up here in N'Swakamok, in Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850 territory, the traditional territories of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and Wahnapitae First Nation.
N'Swakamok, meaning “where the three roads meet.”
We are privileged to continue to gather on this land and commit to uplifting the voices of First Nation, Inuit and Métis artists and community members, amidst ongoing systemic violence and oppression.
We also acknowledge this country’s history of slavery, its role in establishing the colonial state, and its continuing legacy of systemic anti-Black racism.
Black Lives Matter, and from Turtle Island to Palestine, land back.
