Downtown Walla Walla will be alive with the energy of the fourth annual Blood of Gods Merrymaking event (on July 19, 2025). Organized by the innovative Stacy Buchanan, this celebration of wine, heavy metal, and art brings together enthusiasts from near and far, transforming the heart of the town into a vibrant hub of creativity and revelry.

The event is an extension of the renowned Blood of Gods magazine, a project that has been a labor of love for Stacy over the past three years. Combining his passions for wine, music, and art, Stacy’s dream came to life through the annual merrymaking gathering.

As the sun sets, The Motor Co. in downtown Walla Walla transforms into an exhilarating arena of fun, where attendees are enthralled by live art demonstrations, an extensive selection of wines, and a specially curated playlist featuring punk, metal, and hardcore classics and deep cuts.
