When the sun sets, the creatures come out to play. From an array of mutated deadmau5 heads, Pokemons, and nighttime beasts – foxes, insects, and bears, et al. – there were plenty of people dressed in creative, whimsical costumes, all of whom brought Nocturnal Wonderland to life, even while the sun was shining.

Rainbow-hued kitty cats crawled, neon-painted theatrical performers became illuminated on black-lit stages, and Headliners laced with LED lights and wires lit the darkest corners of the sprawling festival. The creatures of Nocturnal Wonderland swarmed the San Manuel Amphitheater and Grounds in San Bernardino, CA this past weekend, dressed in almost anything to obscure their ordinary human forms. Were you one of them?
