Meek Mill performs at the Made in America Festival in Eakins Oval Saturday, September 1, 2018.
Saturday's Made in America festival is a wrap.
The party on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway kicked off with some of the weekend's biggest names — Meek Mill, Post Malone, Janelle Monae, Zedd.
The weather stayed cool and the rain held off to make it a pretty ideal day to mosh.
But Saturday was just half of the festivities, as Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar prepare for the stage on Sunday for the weekend's closing acts. If you're headed back into the madness on Sunday, we're seeing forecasts predict a chance for impending thunderstorms during the earlier part of the day, so don't forget to bring your poncho and galoshes. It gets pretty muddy out there.
From festival fashion and crowd takes, to main stage and action shots, here's what happened on Day 1 of Made in America.
