Well, folks, that’s a wrap on Moon River. We’re reflecting on some of our favorite moments from this year’s festival + some things to keep in mind for next year.

  • Favorite food or drink | We loved getting able to try out some of Sleepyhead Coffee’s Moon River-themed mocktails. The Mock Moon River Margs were so refreshing to sip on a hot day.
  • Favorite set | Editor Kristen loved Houndmouth’s set — especially when the crowd all came together to sing and dance to “Sedona.” Editor Haley finally got to fulfill her dream of seeing Hozier, and yes, he definitely took us to church.
  • Pro tips for next year | Editor Haley suggests packing a rain poncho just in case the rain decides to make another appearance next year. In case of a weather evacuation (luckily this year’s was just a short one), Editor Kristen suggests bringing something to pass the time — she saw someone playing a round of Phase 10 and thought that was a pretty great idea.
