🫎 Saturday is full of more live music, including DJ sets on either end of Racine (Draii BLAC camdontgram KH J. Kryshak) and energetic bands on the Nelson stage (The Shades, Fueled By Emo - Emo + Pop Punk Cover Band Sonic Motel, & Talk of the Town). And of course, we end the night with the annual crowning of this year’s Musky Queen 🫎
