SweetWater 420 Fest in Atlanta – Friday – Capture Life Through the Lens

Friday, April 17, 2015

Oh how I wish it didn’t rain all day on Friday. It didn’t stop me from having a great time, I just am still feeling soaked and it’s 4 a.m. Friday started day one of three for the SweetWater 420 Fest. Held at Centennial Olympic Park, the three day music festival is one of best that Atlanta has to offer. The day one lineup included Big Data, Aer, Beats Antique, Thievery Corporation and Snoop Dogg.

Thousands upon thousands of people packed into the downtown park, turning it for the second year in a row, into a mud pit. Dancing and singing crowds pressed forward for the start of each of the sets culminating in Snoop Dogg taking the stage to end a full day of awesome music and fun photography.
