If you made it through the whole day and were at least relatively clean, you’ll agree that this was easily one of the best parts of Freefest. For anyone (including our photographer, Luis) who did fall victim to the sea of mud that Merriweather Post Pavilion turned into by dinnertime – we feel your pain. As the rain kept falling, the venue became more and more treacherous, and by the end of the night it wasn’t abnormal to see people covered in mud. But with that came a small feeling of success every time you successfully navigated a hill, while people slipped and fell all around like the music festival version of D-day — albeit D-Day soundtracked by MGMT.
