Trampled by Turtles' first show at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth since reuniting after a hiatus to release their latest album, Life is Good on the Open Road, drew a sell-out crowd of around 10,000. Clear skies and warm temperatures paired with a cooling breeze made for a gorgeous outdoor experience as a full day of local and regional artists performed.
