All in the family

This weekend it was time for one of Amsterdams finest festivals, Valtifest. What is the last festival for the summer, and for me a proper party before the rain takes over. At some point I will return with a proper Amsterdam festival guide. But since the season is more or less over, lets save that for another time.

Valtifest is an electro festival with a twist. Every year they come up with a theme. Last year it was "Its a religion" and this time it was time for "All in the family". These themes are free for interpretation and you can expect to see the most creative solutions.

 As partners in crime I had the excellent Leonie and Bibi with me or Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse as they were for the day.
 After getting of the ferry all the happy festival goers rushed for the entrance









Our theme for the day was "Family of forever 27"and I got the portrait the ledgend himself Jimi Hendrix













It was 26 degrees and we were all frying in the sun waiting to get in
 Some snowwhites where taking a rest by the lockers
 An indian tribe danced along their totem pole
 A family of grapes

 We were showered in tiny little hearts that were blown out all over the festival

 Some guys saw the opportunity with their outfits to pick up a beautiful (what was most common outfit : sexy nurse aka sister) woman
 Wedding dressed couples walked around making the athmosphere very surreal
 Human twister, always a hit with the ladies
 The coolest granpa's that got to ride around selling afterparty tickets
 In between being amazed by all the outfits we did find time to see some DJs





And we found a frame that came very in handy for making nice family photos
