Nearly 90,000 country music fans flocked to the Fourth Annual Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale Beach Park for three days of performances from headliners Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, and Dierks Bentley as well as Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett, Cam, Kelsea Ballerini, and many more.

With three days and three stages (literally) in the sand, this year’s festival drew fans from 47 states and 16 countries.

“I kind of feel like it’s a college reunion. A spring break version of a college reunion,” Ballerini says of the festival.

“It’s good for your soul to be near the ocean. What is it? The negative ions, something like that? I feel happier. I don’t know if you guys feel happier,” Cam jokes.

Plans for the fifth annual Tortuga Music Festival are already underway, with details coming soon.

The event has raised more than $250,000 toward marine and ocean research and conservation organizations since its inception.
