Harmony and unity is the focus for the Reggae Festival scheduled for the PCC from noon to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13. The event has been organized with the intention of donating proceeds to Children Today, a Long Beach charity that provides care, moral values and the possibility of improving the lives of homeless kids in the city.
Any cash donation will admit one entrance to the festival, which has a lineup composed of local and bay area bands set to perform before internationally renowned Pato Banton & The Mystic Roots band.
The Bredrin Daddys, Inhale, Chapter 11, Qwiksand, Nobody Cares and Live at Subs are the other bands on the bill, providing dancehall reggae rhythms and hip hop for all to enjoy.
The event has generated a buzz at LBCC and students are especially motivated to attend because of the effort to reshape the lives of the kids in Children Today.
"These type of charity events demonstrate a lot of generosity and concern for the community," bookstore employee Andrew Argueta said.
Many attractions have been confirmed for this festival including art exhibitions and sales, food and merchants who will sell everything from clothing to music.
