Walking into Riot Fest Day 2 on Saturday afternoon, fence scrims along Ogden Avenue had been spray painted over with messages of dissent, and messages about Riot Fest needing to leave Douglass Park, echoing the “no parks for profit” refrain and telling festivalgoers to “go back 2 the burbs.”
But that didn’t deter music fans from descending on the park for the second day of the fest on the city’s Southwest Side.
Here’s a look at some of the sights at this year’s music festival, which continues through Sunday.
