It’s a block party, a metal festival, a family reunion.
The Vibe
Grillfest isn’t just another metal festival. It’s where Midvale’s historic Main Street transforms into a block party, where food, music, and community come together in a way you won’t find anywhere else.
- The street fair experience: Food vendors, local brewers, gelato carts, and that sweet cloud of smoky barbecue filling the air.
- Live combat sports: From medieval combat with the Order of the Silver Rose, to the spectacle of Lucha Project’s pro-wrestling, and more surprises emerging every year.
- Family-friendly atmosphere: Grillfest is designed for everyone: metalheads, their families, and anyone who loves heavy music, tasty food, and good company.
It’s loud. It’s welcoming. It’s unforgettable.


A Festival That Respects Your Time
No dragging into midnight.
No choosing between fun and sleep.
You get a full day of music, food, and connection —
and you’re home at a reasonable hour.
No Overlap. No Missed Moments
We pause the music for mealtime — lunch and dinner.
No missing your favorite band because you’re in line for food.
No rushing through your plate.
You get time to eat, recharge, and actually enjoy the day.


A Festival Built on Community
NO EGO. NO GATEKEEPING.
Grillfest brings together metalheads, families, neighbors, and newcomers alike.
Everyone belongs here.
Grillfest is more than a festival. It’s a family reunion.

THE BANDS DON’T DISAPPEAR.
They’re not just on stage, they’re part of the festival.
Meet them. Talk to them. Buy directly from them.
