Cleanup is underway and concert goers are slowly heading home after one of the biggest music festivals British Columbia has ever seen.

An estimated 40,000 people converged on the village of Pemberton this weekend for the festival. Crews picked up the litter in a temporary parking area, trying to get life back to normal.

"It's going to take a while,'' said Alex Lebrun, a member of the cleaning crew

Traffic congestion, which has been a major issue for both organizers and fans, continued Monday, as thousands of concert-goers started to make their way home.

Throughout the weekend, people waited in gridlock for hours just to get to and from the festival site.

Despite the waits, many attendees say they'll be back again, if the show happens next summer.

However that decision has still to be made by community, officials and organizers.

Previously known for its farming community and spectacular mountain scenery, Pemberton played host to some of the biggest names in music during a four-day festival that began on Thursday night.

The headliners included Coldplay, Jay-Z, Tom Petty and The Tragically Hip.
