Reggae Rising Music Festival - Only 38 Days Left! |
People Productions and the Dimmick Ranch are pleased with the outcome of last
nights Humboldt County Planning Commission meeting at which the Reggae Rising
Music Festival was given the green light to move forward, despite the Mateel Community
Center's attempt to have the planning commission revoke the CUP. "I'd just
hate to see this thing die" stated Commissioner Bruce Emad.
Reggae Rising Music Festival is a benefit for the Southern Humboldt community
and will carry on the 23 year tradition of being one of the largest fundraiser
for its non-profits. To date there are 20 non-profits signed on including; all
of the volunteer fire departments, Beginnings Montessori School, KMUD Radio,
Schools Foundation, Garberville Town Square, Trees Foundation, Vets For Peace
and the Veterans of Foreign War to name a few. In addition to the support of
the local non-profits the festival also has been given the green light from
county agencies including; the Mendocino and Humboldt County Sheriff's department,
Cal Trans, California Highway Patrol, Army Corps of Engineers, Forestry Service
and Cal. Fire (formerly known as CDF).
Reggae Rising Music Festival will take place on August 3rd, 4th, 5th and features
