The iconic Bonnaroo arch has been demolished ahead of this year's upcoming event. Known for many people around the country as a symbol of a great time and an awesome festival, the arch is now merely a pile of ashes. The Festive Owl was able to get some people on the grounds to snap some shots of what remains.
It's official — RIP to the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Arch. Your watch has ended.
