A steady wind of up to 20 mph has blown through, with gusts hitting 31 mph by about 7 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

It only costs $5 for the most spectacular view at the venue. Not only do you get a 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains, but from high atop the Ferris Wheel all the music fans look like hippy, sunburned, bikini top-wearing ants.
