Our annual spring celebration grew to epic proportions in 2009 as over 5,000 people witnessed guests dressed in costumes skimming ponds, sliding on cardboard, and some great reggae music all in our base area.
We kick things off Friday night at the Snow Barn with Taj Weekes & Adowa. Taj has managed to weave a rare social consciousness with an unforgettable reggae groove. Hailing from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, the group's founder, singer/songwriter Taj Weekes has been noted as "raising the level of songwriting within the idiom of reggae music".
On Saturday and Sunday as always the Bud Light Tent will be set up outside Cuzzin's featuring reggae bands starting at 1pm. Saturday witness the classic rooted reggae of Taj Weekes & Adowa and Sunday features Loose Caboose.
Saturday night features our headliner performing down at the Snow Barn, The Big Takeover, for the last Bud Light Concert of the season. Since their arrival, The Big Takeover, a reggae/ska/roots band, has hit the ground running and never glanced back. The band's sets include the perfect fusion of familiar reggae favorites and their own hypnotic, danceable rhythms. If that wasn't enough we'll have Alchemistic opening that night.
Accompanying the Bud Light ReggaeFest will be our 8th Annual Sink or Skim Pond Skim competition on Saturday and the Duct Tape Derby III on Sunday.
Band Line up for this year's Bud Light ReggaeFest will be coming out in the next few months. Stay tuned.
