Zion Canyon Music Festival

Approaching Zion Canyon

I attended the 2nd annual Zion Canyon Music Festival in Springdale, UT. Springdale is right outside the gates to Zion National Park; it's one of the great places in the world. The festival started Friday evening and went most of Saturday. There was great weather and an eclectic lineup of acts. There were also numerous vendors selling t-shirts, jewelry, etc. There was also a beer and food tent that had samples of the local fare. Good times were had by all. Hopefully, this festival will continue to grow. Everyone should visit Zion Canyon once in their life.

Favorite Band: Thrift Store Cowboys
Favorite Band Name: Crippled Stripper (click to see their awesome logo)
Favorite Food: Gyros from Cafe Soleil
Favorite Gaff: The generator went out on the Mother Hips at 10:30 pm on Friday
Favorite Cover: Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Crippled Stripper

Lodging: While in Springdale, I stayed with my friends Bill and Janelle, whom I've known since the early 90s. They have a great house with great views. It was really tough duty to take these pics while holding a glass of Maker's Mark and Mexican Coca-Cola. Don't weep for me!

Looks like you could get your ass kicked ordering fish and chips here.
