Bonnaroo 2025: The Festival That Ended Too Soon 💔

This was my first Bonnaroo experience and it was memorable to say the least! Although we only got one day on the Farm, it was an incredible start to the weekend and I got the idea of what the Bonnaroo community is all about 🫶

In this festival review, I'm covering:

👉 Travel, Accommodations & First Impressions

👉 My Top Sets & Stages Designs

👉 Food, Drinks & Brand Actviations

👉 Camping & Afters

👉 Weather & Festival Cancellation

I'm super grateful to have gotten the chance to experience Bonnaroo even if it was just for one day!
