Kangaroo Valley Reggae Festival

To counter the recent cancellation disappointments for festival lovers, The Friendly Inn, Kangaroo Valley is throwing its hat into the original live music ring with a one-stage festival, headlined by Sydney reggae and roots royalty, The Strides.

The Strides will headline the day with their combination of high-energy dancehall reggae and their own original flavour. Joining them will be MC Iha Jah and DJ Prento. The local line-up includes Benji and the Saltwater Sound System, Casuarina Light Phenomenon, JJ Spence Band, and Ren & the Rudeboys.

There will also be hands-on drumming workshops and performances from Damion Stirling of Beatmeisters. Helping transport ticket holders to the beaches of the Caribbean will be local pitmaster King's Porker, serving up Jamaican street food with pulled pork and special sauces.

The Friendly Inn will have entertainment for the kids with it being an all-ages event.
