WHAT WE DID: OAKTOPIA 2016

And here's our second What We Did post of the day. This one is complete with tons of images from this weekend's Oaktopia festival. This was the fourth year of Oaktopia and saw some of the biggest names yet. Artists such as Rae Sremmurd, Beirut, Cat Power, Norah Jones, Andrew W.K., and many more rocked Denton very hard over the course of the three day festival. We'll have a more in depth review out later, but in the meantime, here are a ton of photos for you to check out from Oaktopia. 

The images below were shot by WDDI photographers and you, WDDI readers/Instagram taggers. You can click through on those photos to get to their Instagram pages and follow them. Check our all of the images below and let us know your favorite part of Oaktopia in the comments! Ours was the brief (but heavy) rain shower on Saturday evening. Search Instagram and Twitter for #Soaktopia to see what we're talking about.

WHAT WE DID: SEPTEMBER 19TH 2016

What We Did is our weekly look into the visual captures that people have taken and documented on Instagram along with the hashtag #WDDI. Every week, we comb through hundreds of images to try and find a few that are not only fun photos, but also provide a great look at what the City of Denton was like during that week. This week is no different. 

Oh wait, this week is a little different in that we have a couple contest winners to announce...

Last week, we announced on social media that we were giving away a few tickets to this week's Oaktopia Festival. We had tons of entries. Below are the winners. 

@_kendrarenae and @ronjeesus. Congrats! You have both won passes to this year's Oaktopia festival. We will be in contact with you for more information. 

If you didn't win, fret not. Oaktopia still has tickets available. You can grab yours here. We'll have plenty more on Oaktopia this week. Until then, check out the 19 great images below from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX.
