This weekend marks the Hardin County, Ill., music festival featuring the rap-metal group Insane Clown Posse. The annual Gathering of the Juggalos begins today in a remote area across the river from Crittenden County near Cave In Rock, Ill. The event is expected to draw as many as 10,000 fans from across the United States.

Fans of the festival are referred to as Juggalos.

The festival has been marked by trouble in the past, with one man being stabbed in 2010 and another drowning in the Ohio River in 2011.
