Reggae Rising

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reggae Rising is a reggae festival in Humboldt County, California. The 2008 edition of Reggae Rising will take place August 1-3, 2008 at Dimmick Ranch and French's Camp. Sizzla, Julian Marley, Junior Reid, UB40, Tanya Stephens, and Sly and Robbie are slated to perform.[1]

Reggae Rising's first year was 2007 when it had 12,400 attendees.[2] The festival's success was due largely to the popularity of Reggae on the River, a festival produced by People Productions at a nearby location since 1984 as a benefit for the Mateel Community Center of Redway, California. Mateel Community Center is not affiliated with "Reggae Rising". The parties are in litigation over the future of both events.[3]
