Pitchfork Music Festival got off to a sloshy slow start Friday as the rain poured down on Union Park with ponchos and the shelter of trees in high demand by the growing flock of attendees.
Though many still pushed through the showers, enjoying the chill sounds of afternoon performer Indigo De Souza, matching the overall breezy feel of the long independently run event.
Lines for food and merch were uncharacteristically slow for a festival though the options include some great local picks including Billy Goat Tavern, Goddess & Grocer, Donerman and Beat Kitchen, among others.
If the muddy terrain from today’s downpour is any indication, boots will necessary the rest of the weekend.
Here’s a look at some of the sights and sounds of Day 1 of the weekend festival in Union Park:
More to come ...
