Over the course of the past three years of attending Firefly, I have fallen head-over-heels in love with music festivals. The idea of thousands of people coming together to listen to good music and be out among the trees and under the sun paralyzes me with happiness. I've met so many incredible people from so many different places, I've learned what music does to me personally, and I've made a lifetime of memories from the best weekend of the year. 

This year's festival is less than two weeks away and I can't go a day without my mind wandering to the subject.  I am so ready. Body and soul. I'm typing so quickly I'm so stoked. 

It is so hard for me to compare which of the years was the best, seeing that each year held new and different experiences with new people, different weather, and a fresh lineup. I've loved each festival so dearly and I wouldn't trade those weekends for the world.

So, in honor of the final countdown to Firefly 2016, I've compiled some of my favorite photos from the past years. 

This year I am most excited to see

-Tame Impala
