While the performers are the primary draw at any festival, a side activity is the people-watching. With more than 78,000 people on site at Piedmont Park for the Saturday edition of Music Midtown - featuring Bruno Mars - and a slightly smaller crowd on Sunday to experience Future and Mumford & Sons , the event attracted a diverse gathering of fans.

The AJC's multimedia specialist Armani Martin scouted the grounds (and the Ferris wheel!) to capture some sights and sounds from Music Midtown 2017.
