It was sunny skies as Riot Fest 2024 got underway on Friday once again at Douglass Park.
There was plenty of music to be had, but there was so much more — everything from skateboarding to wrestling to a punk rock museum exhibit to a wedding chapel awaiting couples wanting to tie the knot in between band sets.
And then there’s that life-size statue of actor-musician John Stamos — made out of butter.
The festival runs through Sunday at the park.
Here’s a look at some of the sights of opening day
