Cleveland-raised musician Machine Gun Kelly had a lot to celebrate this weekend, following the release of his seventh studio album Lost Americana on Friday. That night also marked the kickoff of the third-annual MGK Day.
The first MGK Day was declared in 2023 by Mayor Justin Bibb, commemorating the artist's sold-out Huntington Bank Field show in 2022.
Ever since, the festival has grown into a multi-day, multi-location event that brings the musician and thousands of his fans together in Cleveland.
