Labor Day weekend's festivities included the 25th Annual Boomsday Festival Sunday night, where hundreds of thousands of people packed Neyland Drive. Monday, it was a much different picture.

Crews were out picking up trash and cleaning up debris Monday morning in wet conditions.

In total, officials said nearly 400,000 people attended the festivities.

During the show, crews shut down Neyland Drive, which has been reopened.

The Knoxville Contention and Visitor's Bureau said the event was a huge success from set-up to clean-up.
