Musicians such as Bob Moses, Barclay Crenshaw, and others entertained the crowd with their beats while laser light shows, pyrotechnics, and dancers twirling sticks and other objects added to the atmosphere.

Sol Fest also saw artistic displays, people painting each other’s faces, and painting on special designated walls.

It has also been a busy weekend for law enforcement, who made a multitude of arrests for alleged drug possession. The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office announced the many arrests in continual Facebook posts throughout the festival, which began Thursday, May 2 and is set to conclude Sunday, May 5.

One arrest was even of a Sol Fest employee.
