Music filled the streets of Isla Vista on May 23 as Thriftopia wrapped up their school year events with one final festival — Youtopia. Sponsored by I.V. Community Services District and The Loop Apartments, Youtopia brought together clothing vendors, food stands, live music, the I.V. Farmers Market, and more at the I.V. Community Center and Perfect Park. Students and locals browsed racks of thrifted finds, shopped for local produce, lined up for Roger’s Tacos and relaxed under the sunny weather on inflatable chairs. The music lineup featured Konvikt, Big Hungry, Junkyard, Uncle and The Sweeps.
