This weekend's Aquapalooza brought thousands of people to Lake Travis to watch Brad Paisley in concert from the water.

More than 50,000 people and about 5,000 boats packed into the lake in front of the stage.

Take a look at the picture attached to this story from a helicopter Saturday.


Organizers said they think the concert was possibly the biggest boat concert ever, much bigger than last year's AquaPalooza at Lake Martin, Ala.


Luckily, the event brought few problems to Lake Travis.

  • 19 people landed in custody for public intoxication
  • 15 more for boating while intoxicated
  • 7 arrests for possession of a controlled substance
  • 77 tickets for water safety violations
  • 8 tickets for minor in possession of alcohol
  • 1 ticket for a fishing violation

Businesses along Lake Travis benefitted from the self-proclaimed 'largest party on the water' at The Reserve at Lake Travis .

Dozens of vendors also set up shop inside the concert, selling everything from souvenirs to food and water.

Despite vendors looking to make sales, event organizers didn't make a dime off of the festival. They said the goal is just to bring in people from all throughout the country and boost the local economy where the event is set that year.
