Humans have always had a fascination with the extraordinary, the extreme, and witnessing the seemingly impossible. 128 years ago, the Ringling Brothers Circus hosted its first show in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The mind blowing attractions enthralled millions of spectators and the Ringling Bros. Circus quickly became one of the most widely acclaimed circus companies to this date. Today, the circus still holds a fond place in the heart of countless individuals. Circuses of all styles and backgrounds are currently making stops across the globe.

Do-it-yourself projects often end in one of two ways. Either the initial goal is finally accomplished or the project becomes too difficult to manage without bringing in outside help.

The perfect combination of live music, clear skies, and the great outdoors spells out the components for a coveted summer pastime. The epic 1969 Woodstock festival may have started the tradition of bringing several thousands of spirited music lovers together. Since then, numerous large-scale outdoor music festivals are annually scheduled each summer. Last month Coachella kicked off the outdoor concert season in Indio, California bringing in over 75,000 attendees. Below are some of our favorite Zapd shots from a few well-known summer music festivals across the United States. Enjoy!
Coachella (Indio, CA): The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is an annual three-day festival featuring rock, indie, hip-hop, and techno music.
SXSW (Austin, TX): South by Southwest features a collaboration of film, music, and interactive festivals that take place every Spring.
Bonnaroo (Manchester, TN): The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is an annual four-day music festival presenting a variety of musical styles including indie rock, hip-hop, jazz, and bluegrass.
Are you planning on attending a music festival this year? Create a Zap to capture the event and send it to us via Facebook or Twitter. Happy Zapping!
