Pier 360 hosted the ultimate summer kickoff festival over the June 23-24 weekend. All-day DJ sets were curated by the Brownies and Lemonade crew. The event also featured performances by Sweater Beats, Omni Boi and many more.

Red Bull kept everyone skateboarding all weekend long with a pop-up skate park right on the pier. Immersive art installations were scattered throughout, with a relaxing beer and spirits garden to hide from the sun. Also on offer: volleyball tournaments, lifeguard races, paddleboard races and all kinds of summer activities.

Best of all, the event was free to the public. All photos by Tyler Hagen. @t_hagenphotos.
