About this Event
Southern Oregon, get ready.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Southern Oregon Speedway transforms into a full-throttle day of heavy metal, food, vendors, and community as GWP & Paws N People Foundation present AFTERDARK FEST 2026.

Ten bands. Ten hours. One community coming together.
🔥 THIS ONE MEANS SOMETHING
AFTERDARK FEST isn't just about turning up the volume.
It's about what happens when a community decides to show up for its own.
Wildfire can change lives in minutes, taking homes, livelihoods, belongings and leaving families and animals displaced. Southern Oregon has seen firsthand just how devastating fire can be.
AFTERDARK FEST brings the heavy music community together to help turn that devastation into something powerful: relief, recovery and hope.
Proceeds from the event will benefit fire-relief efforts through Paws N People Foundation, supporting people, animals and communities impacted by fire.
Come ready for:
🤘 10 live bands
🔥 10 hours of music & entertainment
🍔 Food
🛍️ Vendors
🎸 A full day of heavy music
❤️ A chance to directly support fire-relief efforts
