Late Summer Festival Season: Vocalo Photo Edit

Written by on August 24, 2021

From festival fashion to up-close-and-personal performances, here’s what we saw at Lollapalooza, Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Festival and Ruido Fest.

We might have gotten rained out at Summer Smash and nearly trampled by fence-jumpers at Lollapalooza (true story), but that didn’t stop us from enjoying some of our favorite late summer festivals in the city. Check out our visual festival recap below!
