Reggae in the Park

The show was filled with top performers past and present. Yellowman, Shaggy, Maxi Priest, Taurus Riley, and Beres Hammond and horn player Dean Fraser.

The show was worth the drive from Queens NY to Philadelphia. My favorites, Yellowman, Shaggy and Beres although I thought Beres lacked his usual stamina. But he's still my number one!!! The intermissions between performances could have been shorter as I had to keep rebuilding the vibe when each performer started. I would have welcomed some jerk pork/ chicken on the menu. However, overall it was good. Parking was good although cost could have been less, $10 maybe.

Sooooo sooo good! Great line up, great priced tickets and for people like me who are avid reggae fans this was an entertaining event. Hope to see this next year!

Each performer put on a great show. This was my second year attending and I will definitely come again

This was an amazingly peaceful event. The crowd enjoyed the music stylings of dancehall and loversrock. It was beautiful to see so many children gaining a wonderful memory of positivity and peace. The audience embraced one another in kindness. I received kind glances from men and women. People said "excuse me" when they bumped into one another. People spoke to one another as they waiting in line at the West Indian food vendor. It was wonderful. Notin but positive vibes. It was much needed and much appreciated. I will be going next year and every year that I am in the US during this time.

I hope this becomes an annual event at The Mann Center! Liked that there was a program guide so you could see what time each artist was coming on. The setting was perfect along with the artists and good Caribbean food!! Please bring this event back next year with more performers!

Every single performance was amazing. The whole vibe of the concert was so relaxing. The vendors and food options were great! Can't wait to go back next year!

Absolutely LOVE it..! The venue was perfect. The local reggae bands singing as u enter the park,That was amaZing. How organize the event was. Intermission was perfect, was not too long or short. The local dj playing entertaining the crowd like the next performer came on stage... Well Orginsed and we had Lots of FUN...! Will definetely do it again...

I absolutely LOVE AND ADORE Tarrus Riley.. Our was a beautifully mixed crowd and the atmosphere was amazing! I will definitely be back next year.

I had a really good time, I partied for 7 hours and enjoyed every bit of it!!!!!!! Can't wait til next year!

My husband and I went last year. We went early and it was an ALL DAY event. The food was good but wish there was more vendors and merchandise to choose from. I suggest that maybe the Mann offer a deal for unlimited food and drink with a purchase of a braclet or something at a certain price. The atmosphere was great and very friendly family oriented. We really liked Luci but were there for Beres and he "rocked us away" he was well worth the wait. We are definately going to the 2013 show because of Beres and are bringing our 4 yr old daughter this time. Wish they could get some other great headliners like Tessanne Chin, Jah Cure, Alaine and Luciano again. Maybe 2014?!?!?

It was a far drive for me- 1.5 hours compared to the 45 minute train ride I usually take to Philly to see Trevor Hall. But he was amazing, as always. I loved the venue, it was really different than where I've seen him in the past. Sitting in the balconey definitely took away from the performance, but thats something your sacrificing choosing a big festival rather than a small performance. The ticket price was reasonable, some of the other charges, not so much. I did like the opportunity to hear some new bands. Overall, definitely still worth the trip up there to see my favorite performers and discover some new ones!

Hands down...although Jimmy Cliff has legendary status, Luciano and Beres Hammond stole the show. The event was billed to have "Jamaican food booths". There was only one for the entire venue making it impossible to get something to eat without missing a performance.

The main acts were not brought onto the stage until almost 5 hours after the concert started. This may have been ok for a Saturday night concert, but no when a lot of people have to attend work on Monday morning.

Reggae In The Park feat. Jimmy Cliff was awsome the day hot and humid in more ways than one. The local groups/bands where great and of easily be a main attraction. Beres Hammond was awesome and Jimmy Cliff was different but great> Overall I would recommend this event to the world and looking forward to next years event. I THINK SEATING SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY ELEVATED SO EVEN IF A PERSON DECIDES TO STANDUP THAT THIER NOT BLOCKING YOUR VIEW! I SET BY A WOMAN NAME APRIL IN JUNE HOW AWESOME IS THAT, CALL ME BABY!

I loved the show...amazing performances by the featured artists. Beres Hammond, Luciano, Jmminy Cliff all rocked. Loved the bass guitarist from the band that accompanied Luciano, not sure the name of band. It is always nice to enjoy some real good positive vibes/music from the reggae genre. Can't wait till next year!!!

The day just wasn't what we thought. We were expecting something different. Trevor Hall was our Highlight. Although the people who were running the show.. treated him unkindly... it looked like.

What a great event! Exciting talent and a wonderful crowd. I truly hope the Mann makes this a yearly event!

Very Interesting array of acts; however, was disappointed that Jimmy Cliff did not come on until 9:30 and that after spending 9 hours waiting for him, I was too tired to hear him finish his set. He was excellent, though!

I'm a huge Beres Hammond fan and I had a wonderful time. Even the small town bands that went on before him were wonderful. I will definitely be coming back to the Mann.

Jah Bless, Excellent Show! Good Local Artist ! Need More Jamican Food Vendors!!

Outstanding event, Im was so glad i didn't miss it

Really enjoyed Beres and the DJ that played before Beres. The main artists took too long to come on. The show was advertised as commencing at 1pm but the main artists did not perform to 6pm. What a longggg day. Jimmy Cliff did not come on until 9:30 and by that time ppl were ready to leave.

No seat, even the lawn was a bad seat. All artist were excellent. I really enjoyed Beres and Jimmy Cliff.
