MANCHESTER, Tenn. – Walking the 700 acres that make up the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is all that most people need to understand how big the festival site is, but the iconic Ferris wheel offers a different perspective.
It’s on the edges of Centeroo, the festival’s main area of activity and general camping, where most of the 80,000 ticket buyers are camped. Riders get a bird’s-eye view of just how deep into the Tennessee farmland the tents, campers and RVs go.
“It’s massive,” said Al Eckford, 49.
