Reggae Rise Up, St. Pete’s biggest annual music festival, is taking over the waterfront this March, and this year’s rendition showcases an absolutely star-studded lineup. The four-day celebration will take place Thursday-Sunday, March 14-17 in Vinoy Park, and tickets are on sale here.

Headliners include big-name acts such as Lupe Fiasco, Damian and Stephen Marley, Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, and Soja. Add in more favorites like Burning Spear and Dirty Heads, and this year’s Reggae Rise Up is jam-packed with star power. For the last two years, Reggae Rise Up’s full economic impact for the city has totaled more than $20 million, and with an average attendance of 15,000+ per day, that impact can quickly be seen.

All told, more than three dozen acts will take to the Rise Up stages over the four days of festing, complete with tons of local food, drink and entertainment. If you want to go then act fast, as already many of the ticket packages have sold out.

Not only is Reggae Rise Up one of St. Pete’s biggest festivals, it’s also one of the most meaningful weekends for the local economy. Last year’s festival created an estimated $22 million in economic impact for the city, which you can read about here, and that number is only expected to grow.
