At this year's edition, there were people in all kinds of fashion.

Braids and flowersare always ahuge hit.

Some came for big acts like Lana Del Rey and Radiohead.

Others came just to experience Osheaga

There are art installations in the shade.

Where artists worked.

And some took selfies.

Some attendees showed off their best jean shorts.

Others danced all afternoon.

Many went from one act to another.

Dozens waited inlong lines for the bathrooms.

The humidity also meant lots of ice cream and lemonade.

And sunscreen and water are a must.

Some needed to charge their phones.

Others took a break from the sun.

Most importantly, everyone enjoyed the tunes.
