Audiofeed Festival sets free day for local residents

A large crowd of festival-goers is gathered under an open tent at night, engaged in an energetic and lively activity. The people are standing in a circle, some with their arms raised and others leaning forward, suggesting they might be participating in a mosh pit or a similar group activity. The scene is illuminated by vibrant lights, creating a dynamic and festive atmosphere. The attendees are dressed casually, with some wearing band t-shirts, colorful attire, and accessories that reflect a diverse and spirited crowd. The surrounding area includes a few structures and more people in the background, adding to the bustling environment of the event.
