Mud-Filled Riot Fest Day 3 Keeps the Music Going at Douglass Park
Riot Fest’s Day 3 at Douglass Park pressed on through heavy rain and muddy grounds that forced schedule cuts and accessibility challenges, with local trio Largemouth—the youngest performers—kicking off the day, followed by Sincere Engineer and The Beths, and headliners Patti Smith, William Shatner, and Alanis Morissette across multiple stages. Attendees navigated treacherous footing as the festival pledged park-ground remediation after the soggy weekend, and a wedding at the Riot Fest chapel highlighted the event’s resilient, celebratory spirit.
