“Reggae at the Rock has always been about more than just music, it's about community. Reggae has many styles, just like people do. But we all come together, no matter our background, to share a vibe, connect, and celebrate what unites us. This festival is a chance to let loose, soak in the good energy, and make some summer memories before life gets busy again. It's our last big beach party before school and schedules take over, and we’re going all in!” says Corey Morris, Festival Director.
