What a great time at Utopiafest 2016! It was my first time and it couldn't have gone any better! My only regret was not taking more photos. Here is what I did capture though while having the time of my life. I do think I witnessed something special during The Deer's performance Saturday during the sunset. To watch watch the sunlight slowly fade into the evolving glow from the stage really set a mood. What incredible energy that was being shared between the band and the audience. It was quite a special moment we shared and I hope I caught a slight glimpse of what it was like. The headliner was Ratatat and my favorite moment was when I we were all hanging out by the campfire passing around an acoustic guitar late that night and he came over to join in. You can’t buy special moments like that, you just have to provide the right environment for magic like that to happen.
Bravo to the Utopia team putting on such a great event. If you are able to make it to one of these festivals I highly recommend you do so. It’s a 3 day camping music festival for all ages. They have plenty of food, live painting artists, and vendors of all kinds to add to the vibes that is Utopiafest.
