Sporting an eye-catching sparkly top and a pride flag tied around her wrist, Susan Sloat fits in among the rowdy fans, booming musical performances and flamboyant fashion at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.
But unlike most in the crowds of college-aged festivalgoers, she is 65 years old.
This is Sloat’s 15th year attending the festival, where she camps annually with a group of six from Nashville.
Sloat represents an older generation of ‘Roovians who attend the festival every year with decades of experience under their belts. Whether showing up to enjoy legacy acts or discovering new music, the positive atmosphere of The Farm remains the same for fans of all ages.
