Everyong doubted Reggae Rising would happen last year.... but it was the same staff, same thousands of volunteers, same production company... and the same artists that have always been served well by the production company (too bad the MCC couldn't compromise!) Locals call it "Reggae"... like, "Are you going to Reggae this year?" The name hasn't changed the event. I can't wait for Reggae this year!!!! It's a tradition. PS. stagolee, that's pessimistic. We want to celebrate that culture and jam out to reggae! And we want to party with our friends. Reggae Rising is going strong…
