The highs and lows of San Francisco's Portola Festival 2024
Briefly

"The festival, which was expected to draw 45,000 attendees to San Francisco's Pier 80, just concluded its third year, highlighting its growing popularity and challenges."
"Even as organizers iron out the kinks, festivalgoers are happy to drop several hundred dollars on a weekend wristband, revealing their dedication to the experience despite past issues."
"From a purely musical standpoint, Portola outshines Outside Lands dramatically, but beyond the tunes, it leaves much to be desired as far as festivalgoing experience."
"There's a lot of room for improvement... it lacks a sense of exclusivity and disregards the local DJ community, raising questions about how festivals address local music scenes."
