What began as a 500-person gathering behind a small eatery has bloomed into Maryland’s Sweetlife Festival. Hosted by Sweetgreen, an all-natural restaurant with several locations on the East Coast, the Sweetlife Festival is a way to sustainably gather the community around music.

This year’s Sweetlife Festival was held at the Merriweather Post Pavilion, complete with grasslands and pingpong decks. Solar panels powered the main stage while local vendors and compost programs promoted sustainable living. Headliners Lana Del Rey, Foster the People and Fitz & The Tantrums beckoned large crowds amongst other popular acts, including Bastille, Chromeo and Hozier. Get a peek into the performances and find the faces of the 2014 Sweetlife Festival below.
