Rain may have cut the first night of the 2012 edition of Harbor Sounds short, but before Mother Nature intervened, patrons were having a great time at the annual waterfront event.

Vendors were lined up along Veteran's Boulevard, bands were thumping out great music, and families were having a wonderful time in Veteran's Memorial Park right up until the time the rains came at around 8:30pm.

Here is a collection of sights from the first day of Harbor Sounds 2012. Be sure to head out to the Harbor for Day 2 on Saturday. The event runs from noon until 10:00pm.
