EVENTS : CONEY ISLAND REGGAE BEACH PARTY (RESCHEDULED) : SUN SEPT 18 2011!‏

Coney Island Reggae Beach Party: RAIN DATE
Sunday, September 18, 2011
From 12 noon to sundown, FREE
Coney Island Boardwalk at West 19th Street

*** The Coney Island Reggae Beach Party, originally scheduled for August 14 but cancelled due to rain, has been rescheduled for Sunday, September 18, 2011 from noon until sundown on the Coney Island Boardwalk at West 19th Street from noon to sundown. ***

WKCR’s "Eastern Standard Time" radio program and Sound Liberation Front have joined forces to present the 2011 season of the Coney Island Reggae Beach Party series, bringing the enormously influential culture of Jamaican sound systems back to the Coney Island Boardwalk.

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural season and two events earlier this summer, the free event will feature live DJs playing vinyl records on a large Jamaican-style soundsystem. It will feature special guest emcees and fun activities for the whole family, all in celebration of the Jamaican soundsystem tradition. The event is on the boardwalk at West 19th Street (near the iconic red tower). The party will feature New York's best reggae selectors (deejays) and guest vocalists curated by WKCR host Carter Van Pelt. The September event will include Downbeat the Ruler (Tony Screw), Digital English, Sir Tommy’s, and guests.
