Good vibes at a Bridgeport festival

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, (WTNH) -- The Gathering of the Vibes festival continues at Seaside Park in Bridgeport.

The big annual music festival began on Thursday and continues right through the weekend.

With much clearer skies on the third day of the event, there have also been much bigger crowds.

The music festival began in 1997, shortly after Grateful Dead front-man Jerry Garcia died.

Many consider it "Dead-head heaven", but no matter what you call it, it's been an event full of music and fun.

Some might think that this event could keep Bridgeport police's hands full, but that has not been the case at all.

"It's a very good crowd," said Brian Fill, an attendee, "it seems very well-organized."

"Good crowd, I saw zero anger," said another attendee, "I saw almost no litter."

The drummer from the Grateful Dead actually played with the band Saturday evening.

Sunday is "Family Day", so kids 15 and under can get in free. Connecticut residents also get 50% off the price for admission.
