Photo recap: Chasing Summer

By Ayesha Chugh, August 2 2016 —

Although fans may have felt they were chasing shelter this weekend, thousands attended this year’s Chasing Summer at the Max Bell Centre Festival Grounds. Music festivals have a culture of their own — from the production to the expression of individuality from the fans.

 

It is very common for fans to dress up as their favorite artists. This group channelled DJ and producer Marshmello.

 

The friendly volunteer crew  helped keep things running smoothly.

 

 

The stormy skies could not keep a smile off of this festival-goer’s face.

 

 

Dancers from Rhythm Fx Entertainment joined Rezz on stage for her unique techno/dub set.

 

 

A local fan shows his support at the Deadbeats Stage.

 

 

Rain ponchos were a necessity to endure multiple thunderstorms during the festival.

 

 

Chasing Summer was overrun by storm troopers.

 

 

Calgary police officers kept everyone safe while keeping grins on their faces.

 

 

Nothing like a great group of friends to enjoy the festival with.

 

 

Now that’s commitment.
