This annual pilgrimage started as a humble bowling tournament among punk bands and fans, and has since evolved into a legendary festival, attracting punk enthusiasts from all corners of the globe.
The spirit of Punk Rock Bowling is as much about community as it is about music. Over the years, it has grown into a multifaceted event, offering attendees an immersive experience beyond the stage.
