Really enjoyed the vibe, great food and music, the space is also really nice. I am not much of an arts buyer so it was nice that it was focused on food, beer, and music.

Midsommar fest is probably the best fest out there, lots to see and do and plenty of great bands to listen to. You can also jump into a restaurant for a great dinner which is nice. Always great bands
