Centeroo:
Bonnaroo's Town
Filled with four concert tents (each
holding many thousands of people), the intimate
XM Radio Sonic Stage, arts & crafts, food
vendors, a playground, batting cages, public art,
a large central fountain, a comedy tent with top-notch
talent, a tiki bar, cafés (including an
internet café with electronic message boards
and downloading stations), and a 24-hour movie
tent - Centeroo was a true, bustling downtown
area for the Bonnaroovians. There was a traditional
Mardi Gras parade at Bonnaroo, which was led by
the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The
photo on the right shows the lead float of the
parade.
