Reggae on the Boardwalk is a free traditional reggae sound-system event in a family-friendly outdoor setting, featuring legendary Jamaican emcees and DJ’s spinning vinyl records. The tunes are blasted from a massive, 10-foot tall sound system a wall of speakers, the kind of which constitute an important aspect of Jamaican music history operated by Chanter “The Timeless Sound.” Established in 2010 by Carter Van Pelt a WCKR DJ and curator who works for Queens-based VP Records Reggae on the Boardwalk was conceived of as an accessible expression of traditional sound system culture.
KCA’s season is sponsored by New York Community Bank, and is also supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
