PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Made in America festival has become an annual tradition on the Ben Franklin Parkway as music fans mark the unofficial end to the summer season.

People lined up early outside the festival to make sure they could get to the front of the stage to see Bad Bunny perform Sunday night.

"So excited, this is my third time seeing him this year," said Alejandra Benitez of Montgomery County, Maryland.

Bad Bunny fans were everywhere you looked, both inside and outside of the festival.

"He's my favorite artist. I've been following him since 2016," said Enrique Ortiz of Puerto Rico.

"He's just it. He's a great representation of the island. He's a great representation of our culture," added Barbara Pierson of Brooklyn.

On Saturday night, one of the top performers of the night, rapper Kodak Black, didn't make it on stage.

He posted a series of videos on his Instagram saying he was late and wasn't allowed to perform.

Sources close to the festival say he showed up about 10 minutes before his set was scheduled to end, and wasn't allowed to perform due to strict time limits.

Many spent the day Sunday trying to stay cool before Bad Bunny took the stage.

"I'm just out here you know with this towel, trying to stay cool, got plenty of water, and just trying to stay facing away from the sun," said Starling Wynoa of Toms River, New Jersey.

This was the 10th year of Made in America on the Parkway.

Many of the road closures will be lifted prior to 5 a.m. on Monday, September 5 as roads are cleaned and serviced.
