The East Side was alive on Saturday for the 2023 Summer Soulstice Music Festival. Three stages, oodles of food trucks, and oodles of vendors took over various thoroughfares and side streets surrounding the intersection of North and Farwell. Oh, and Black Cat Alley was buzzing with an all-day/night DJ dance party! Also, the weather was absolutely gorgeous.

Here are some photos and a video recap of the big shindig. (Sorry we didn’t get everyone!) Welcome back, Summer Soulstice/summer! THANK GOD.
