Photographer Luke Awtry captured Moon Hooch’s performance at the Festival of Fools in downtown Burlington on August 2. The Brooklyn trio delighted the crowd with their energetic saxophone and drum performance, leading a parade up Church Street and playing a headlining set at City Hall Park. The festival atmosphere was filled with dancing, laughter, and silliness, reflecting the joy that Moon Hooch’s music brings to the people of Burlington. It had been four years since they last performed at the festival, and it was clear that their return was a highly anticipated and well-received event.
