Over the weekend, West Potomac Park was full of people and music as it hosted the first Landmark Music Festival for the National Mall. Things went pretty smoothly, apart from long lines for beer and food on Saturday; everywhere you went, you saw volunteers running around with garbage bags to keep the park clean.
