Music festivals are awesome. It’s always so great to hear about everyone’s favorite artists and all the crazy things that happened to them! To prolong the afterglow and/or to give you some insight into what went down, The Bold Italic proudly presents “Festival Stories,” a collection of vignettes and tales from the biggest festivals and events. We spent three action-packed days at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2016 in beautiful Golden Gate Park and came away with some amazing experiences to share with you. We spent the last month lovingly editing the whole weekend down to a selection of the best stories. We hope you love them!

Meet “The Wizard.”
