As a crazed music fan and avid show-goer, I was looking forward to my first local music festival since moving to Miami two years ago. South Florida doesn’t see a ton of good artists come through (yeah, I said it), so I was looking forward to the sick line-up Riptide put together. The cool thing about South Florida is that despite the festival being in December, we could rock alongside our favorite bands in jean shorts and flipflops right on Fort Lauderdale Beach under a full moon.
