Overnight and early morning rains made some areas of Coolidge Park a soggy mess, but crews kept the grounds manageable for the first day of the two-day Moon River Festival.
Most fans and artists were happy the rain stayed away during the day and the overcast skies kept things relatively cool and pleasant.
“This is great,” said Joe Johnson, echoing sentiments expressed by fellow patrons Jay Prater and Greg Beairsto.
Artist Mat Kearney said in an interview prior to his afternoon set that the weather reminded him of his hometown of Eugene, Oregon.
“You feel like you could play all day in weather like this,” he said.
