This week, the Fit For Adventure Tour arrived at our most westward stop of the summer, the 41st annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Nestled in a box canyon miles from Colorado’s biggest cities, Telluride is a former silver mining town frozen in time. With aged brick buildings, babbling...

Bunbury Music Festival Cincinnati Ohio

Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio was one for the books! Speaking of books, Bunbury comes from Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and means “to have a made up excuse to get out of doing something boring” and as it turns out Cincinnati has plenty of those excuses. We had a blast checking out the Queen City from the immaculate Cinci skyline at Devou Park to nifty finds like the National Steamboat Monument and the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge. We also got to check out a little reggae music at Fountain Square before we were off to share some Chaco love to Bunbury festivarians.

As soon as we got to the venue, we knew we were in for a great festival. The six stages scattered across the beautiful Yeatman’s Cove Park each had their own feel with backdrops of bridges, the downtown skyline of the ‘Nati, and the Ohio River. Friday night Empire of the Sun put on a show that made us almost feel as if we were in Vegas, never mind the never-ending fireworks lighting up the sky from the Cincinnati Reds game. The Ohio River was packed with boats lackadaisically floating by, checking out the music coming from the River Stage where Robert Delong –whom we’d seen at Wakarusa-kept an upbeat vibe after a crazy monsoon of a thunderstorm on Sunday.

Even though Bunbury took place in a city far from Gotham, Batman himself took time to stop by and try on Chacos; a real cherry on top of this festival!

Forecastle Music Festival - Louisville KY

Forecastle was an exceptional experience!

Around 65,000 folks attended Forecastle this year to hear amazing bands like OutKast, Jack White, Beck, Jenny Lewis, Lord Huron, Nickel Creek and many more. The Chaco Booth was super fun and we were only 100 yards from local Louisville retailer Quest Outdoors.
