The inaugural Tinnabulation Music Festival took over Riverfront Park this past weekend — at least the part of the park not currently under reconstruction — giving ticket holders the chance to see what a big-time festival looks like in the heart of the Lilac City.
Upon entry, music lovers found themselves strolling across bridges and alongside the river to four stages featuring more than 50 bands, ranging from local favorites like Summer in Siberia and Jango to headliners like the John Butler Trio and OK Go. Food and art vendors dotted the paths, and stand-up comics fired off jokes at seemingly random spots where festivalgoers walked by or congregated for a little shade or a beer.
For its first year, it was certainly a sight to behold — big and ambitious — and we look forward to Tinnabulation's second act.
