The 2016 Moontower Music Festival took place at Masterson Station Fairgrounds on Saturday, August 27. More than 5,000 attendees braved the heat for the third annual event, which is produced by local event company LexEffect and featured more than a dozen bands, with headliners that included Manchester Orchestra, Drive-By Truckers and Trombone Shorty.

Here's a photographic look at the festival. Unless otherwise noted, photos were taken by Andrew Brinkhorst - check out more of his photos at andrewbrinkhorst.photoshelter.com/index.
