“We’re incredibly pumped to be celebrating the iconic characters of ‘The Simpsons’–it’s a show truly loved by people of all ages. 2018 marks a significant milestone for us. Being our 10th anniversary we wanted to go big and given the global phenomenon surrounding ‘The Simpsons’ makes this the perfect collaboration," says Steve Hayles, founder, Upfest.
