The second annual Seattle International Reggae Festival comes to the picturesque Snoqualmie Point Park Aug. 22.  This international festival features local and national musical acts and has become a gathering for the progressive international Reggae and positive roots movement.

Headlining the festival will be the legendary Rocksteady duo Keith & Tex, Big Mountain, Sister Nancy, Papa Michigan, and Jah Bouks. Jr. Holt will perform a tribute to his father, John Holt. Also on the bill are Selassie I Soldier, Guidance and Blu Meadows.

The all-ages festival start at noon Saturday and continues to midnight at the park, located at 37580 Winery Road, Snoqualmie. Camping is available.

The 2014 festival was a landmark event for promoter, Al Griffin, of Caribbean Blu. His vision is to bring conscious music to the masses and build a community that will support expansion of this festival to a full three-day event that will be scheduled well in advance by artists and audience alike.

Fyah Wyah, known as the “Good Words” artist, will host the festival again this year.

“We are in a time where the world needs unity, and there is nothing like Reggae music to bring people of all walks of life together,” said Fyah Wyah.

Tickets are $40 in advance, eventbrite.com, and $45 at the gate.
