Full Moon Fest, Featuring Santigold And Lolawolf, Is New York’s Best Kept Secret

by Katherine Barner

Last weekend (August 20-21), Full Moon Fest came to Governor’s Island, New York City, for a full weekend of music, art, and parties. The festival included a diverse mix of acts, with DJ sets in between musicians, keeping the crowd buzzed and moving from the afternoon until the sun was long gone. Oh, and there were booze buckets and part of the island was turned into a beach. It was glorious, and the perfect send-off to summer.

If you missed the festival this year, trust me, you definitely want to make it next year. Check out some photos from this year’s Full Moon Fest below.
