Punk Rock Gives Back Announces 2nd Annual Charity Show & 3rd Annual Ornament Auction

Punk Rock Gives Back returns to Alex’s Bar for its 2nd Annual Charity Show and 3rd Annual Ornament Auction, bringing a full day of music, community, creativity, and charitable impact. Happening on Saturday December 13th at noon, the event is hosted once again by Bruce Zebel and powered by a lineup that embodies the heart grit, and spirit of Southern California Punk. This year’s performers include Empired, The Jack Knives, Spark of Life, Rudy Nuno, Unsound Sunday, and a special DJ set from Danny Thompson (Face to Face). Admission is free, with attendees encouraged to show support by bidding, buying, volunteering, and getting involved. At the center of the event is the beloved Annual Ornament Auction, supporting 30+ charities through one-of-a-kind, artist-created ornaments. It’s a tradition that has grown not only in scale, but in meaning, a cornerstone of community-driven generosity within the Punk world. Beyond the auction, the event will feature a curated vendor village with Two Birds Baking, Punk Rock Pottery, BoBo Delphina, Sp00ky Sprinkles Art, and The Outside Agitators. Nonprofits also credit Punk Rock Gives Back with amplifying voices that often go unheard.

“Words can’t fully express how much Punk Rock Gives Back means to us. They champion small nonprofits, amplify the underdogs, and give us the support and visibility we need to make a real impact. The PRGB team are truly the change we want to see in the world. PRGB is the backbone of our work, a lifeline that reminds us WHY we do what we do.” (Rock and Roll Rescue‘s Kel Izumine)
