Bear Down Music Festival (BDMF) is the largest student-run event of the year at the University of Arizona, with over 5,000 students expected to attend! Previous line-ups include Louis The Child, 070 Shake, TKay Maidza, D.R.A.M, Chet Porter, Seeb, and many more!
This year's festival will take place Friday, April 12th starting at 4pm on the UA Mall.
BDMF provides an opportunity for the student body to foster a sense of community between students and the UArizona campus and organizations involved.
In addition, it also allows the students involved in the production of the event to pursue their interests in event planning, music production and logistics in a real world environment.
