Aftershock was an awesome experience. Whomever put on the festival had a great team to clean up the park daily and service the porta potties so there was never an odor or much of a line. Plenty of food and drink options and the bands started and finished right on schedule. I also never waited for a shuttle to or from the venue so it was very convenient.

3/5 - Okay
