The Life is Beautiful festival took over downtown Las Vegas last weekend and injected an eclectic mix of bands, chefs, and art in a city mostly known for their giant megaclubs and roulette tables. We sent out photographer Mallory Turner to snag exclusives shots of some of our favorite artists at the three day festival and ask a few what, to them, makes life beautiful. Check out the photos below.

“We have five to six individuals at any one time that are actually friends, not put together, coming together to make music in a harmonious most wonderful way.
