Nelsonville Music Festival 2017

I’ve been hearing about the Nelsonville Music Festival for several years from some friends in Columbus.  And ever year, I salivate over the lineup this little festival would get.  After reading this below, I knew I had to make it there, and soon before anything changed. 

This festival may be the largest non-profit festival in the country, with over 15,000 people taking part over four days, the eclectic mix of artists that perform cover a wide range of music [… ] The festival itself is community-based and barely has any major corporate sponsorship.

Here’s also an assemblage of other random clips from the weekend.

And then some photos… The rest are on my Flickr page.
