Combining water safety, wildlife, and wild times.
Stormy skies didn't keep party fiends and electronic dance music fans from invading Big Surf in Tempe on Saturday, April 30, for the latest Wet Electric. Thousands turned out at the waterpark for the one-day EDM festival and pool party and its lineup of big beats, big-name DJs, and big fun in a beachside setting. There was also plenty of people-watching to be had, especially with the hundreds who came dressed in banana costumes in honor of Wet Electric headliner Dada Life.
