Joshua Tree Music Festival, one of Southern California’s longest-running festivals, held its 16th annual spring edition May 17-20. Known for its grassroots vibes and multicultural lineups that transcend genres, the festival this year included some incredible performances by the likes of Dirtwire, Con Brio, The Dogon Lights, Mdou Moctar, Intuit, Yossi Fine & Ben Aylon, The Garifuna Collective and many more. They kept the dance floor groovin’ for the entire span of the four-day party. All photography by Miles Najera
