Grinchfest 2025

Jessie "Grinch" Ayala has quickly become a local celebrity, social media influencer, and beloved friend to all within the Bay Area punk scene. Contrary to his nickname, Grinch is an ever-positive figure in the punk community who has dedicated his life to promoting and attending concerts and events, and is responsible for growing the following of many local bands and music venues through his charming and energetic Instagram videos. Grinch remains committed to spreading peace, love, and harmony at every opportunity, even when faced with recent health issues. To show appreciation for our dear friend Grinch, Reker Productions is organizing Grinchfest: a one-day, 10-hour music festival at Revolution Cafe, featuring 17 bands, food trucks, tattoo and piercing services, merchandise and art from local artists, interactive contests, and much more. Ticket revenue will be going towards funding the event.
