Reggae On The River Rises From The Ashes & Presents a one day keep-the-name-alive-forever fundraiser
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, on Saturday, July 19th, the Mateel Community Center will revive Reggae on the River as a single-day, roots reggae and world music celebration at Benbow Lake State Recreation Area in southern Humboldt. A transitional year for the event, with issues still unresolved in the festival’s ongoing legal dispute, Reggae on the River 08 will be an in-house production offered in a keep-the-name-alive-forever spirit, with hopes to return the festival to 3 day event that will again support the work of both community non-profits and the Mateel Community Center.
In keeping with the paired down theme, the
festival will eschew top heavy headliners this year
and will feature a deep and top class billing of international
talent including Culture with Kenyatta Hill, The Wailing
Souls; native New Zealanders, Katchafire; Jamaica’s
conscious dancehall and roots sensation, Warrior King;
dancehall diva, Sister I-Live; and Jamaica’s rising
star (and local favorite), Stevie Culture, with more
talent TBA. Additionally, the event will offer
vendors, a children’s area, delicious food and
drink, a beer & wine bar, and plenty of irie vibes
on the beautiful shores of the Eel River in Benbow Lake
S.R.A.
Don’t miss this chance to support the work of Mateel while helping keep Reggae on the River alive.
