The Blue Mountain Music Festival, an official Reggae Month event, will feature two days of performances, yoga, hiking, camping and an array of entertainment for the entire family. At last night’s media launch, Roshaun Clarke, Executive Producer of the event promised an experience synonymous with the acclaimed Woodstock Festival.
During his presentation at the launch, Minister Damion Crawford extended gratitude and congratulations to the festival organizers for creating a premium event that will lure visitors who want to experience more than “sand and sea.”
Festival Schedule
On Saturday, February 22, gates open at 2 pm. The Reggae Party begins at 7 pm, featuring the legendary Third World band, Tanya Stephens, Chronixx and Kabaka Pyramid, among others. On Sunday, February 23, gates re-open at 11 am and the Misty Bliss concert starts at 2 pm, featuring T.O.K., Nomaddz, Ity and Fancy Cat, Kelissa and Jesse Royal.
Sharing his vision for the Blue Mountain Music Festival, Clarke sees the event evolving to become “one of the premiere music festivals in Jamaica and the Caribbean. Diversifying the genres of music presented and offering innovative attractions will be key to achieving this.”
