This isn’t a Festival, it’s a Frontier Town

You wake up in your tent as the sun is setting. You’re well rested and ready of a night of bimbling (which is a very English word for festival adventuring) around BoomTown Fair, an experiential event designed to look and feel like a wild frontier city. Your first stop is the gypsy-punk vibe of Gogol Bordello, who is headlining a main stage in a district called OldTown.
