My take on the Hot Times Festival 2019:

This festival has a chill vibe. Most people were admiring the art cars, or sitting/standing around talking as they listened to the performers at one of the three stages. I had a chance to catch up with several people I haven’t seen since last year. This is a festival to just come relax, catch up, and connect.
