Sonic Boom Festival 2013 Photo Essay

Scenes of Edmonton: August 31 – September 1

Edmonton rock radio station Sonic 102.9 hosted their annual Sonic Boom Festival this past weekend, a two day outdoor music festival that packed one killer lineup. While we didn’t score press passes to the festival, Ominocity travelled down to sing our hearts out, gorge on vegan food and hit some sweet water slides.

Thanks to our friends for sharing their cell phone pics!
