The family-friendly fest celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend at Sandy Creek Park with an impressive headliner. See this week’s Flagpole for more.

Flagpole‘s news editor celebrated his Ole Miss Land Sharks’ improbable win over Alabama Saturday by stripping down to his skivvies, running through Normaltown and repeatedly yelling “FLIM FLAM BIM BAM” at the top of his lungs. (Just kidding. He was probably at home changing his baby’s diaper or something.)
