Get ready, metalheads! B.A.H.R.F. (Bay Area Hard Rock Fest) is back for its 10th installment, and if you know, you know—this is NOT just another festival. This is a legendary metal party.
Founded in 2003 by Josh Jones, B.A.H.R.F. started as an old-school house party-style metal fest, and we’re keeping that energy alive. We’re talking FREE BEER, FREE PIZZA, and a stacked lineup of killer bands—all going down at The Side Yard Studio in Valrico, Florida.
This is the kind of event where memories are made, guitars are shredded, and legends are born. If you love heavy music and a good time, this is where you need to be.
