In case you missed it, this past weekend saw the glorious return of the Eaux Claires festival in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It was the first EC since 2018! How glorious of a return was it? Well, the Justin Vernon-curated fest included performances from Aimee Mann, Hotline TNT, Monica Martin, and many, many more. Oh, and Vernon himself performed as “Bon Dylan”—a.k.a. ’90s-era Bob Dylan.

Here are some scenes from Eaux Claires 2026, courtesy of photographer Danny Marchewka. (Too early to think about 2027?)
