Aching feet? Sore backs from standing for hours on end? Maybe still drying off from a few drizzles throughout the week? So are we.

But if you are experiencing the comedown that every end of Treefort Music Fest brings, we’ve got you covered.

Thousands of festival-goers poured into downtown Boise this past week for five days of live music, arts and culture and family-friendly events.

Whether you’re missing the chill dance beats of Toro y Moi or getting your face melted off by Boise guitar wunderkind Zack Quintana — or just grabbing a snack at a food truck — we’ve all got a Treefort-shaped hole in our hearts.

We hope these photos from us at Boise State Public Radio can help tide you over until the next lineup announcement.
