Day two of Reggae Rise Up Florida brings the best and hottest reggae to the Gulf Coast of Florida—reggae all day and reggae all night under the St. Petersburg sun and stars. As Florida's leading reggae media and promotions source, ReggaeNights.live is here to spotlight this epic Friday lineup at Vinoy Park, where the vibes ramp up with a stacked bill of legends and innovators.
From Southwest Florida road-trippers to locals soaking up the bay views, March 13 delivers non-stop island energy. Gates open at noon, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the music kicks off. This is the day the festival truly ignites, blending roots reggae with modern fusions that keep the crowd dancing from afternoon into the evening.
Why Day Two Delivers the Hottest Reggae Vibes on Florida's Gulf Coast
Reggae Rise Up has cemented itself as one of the best reggae festivals statewide, and day two exemplifies that with a lineup fusing classic roots, reggae-rock, and crossover heat. St. Petersburg's Vinoy Park—right on the Gulf Coast—provides the perfect backdrop: waterfront chills, art vendors, and food trucks serving Caribbean flavors to fuel the all-day party.
As promoters of the hottest reggae across Florida, we love how Friday builds momentum. Reggae all day starts with openers setting positive tones, escalating to headliners that keep the night alive. It's family-friendly early, then pure irie energy as the sun sets—ideal for our Southwest Florida fans making the short drive up I-75.
Essential Festival Tips
Bring a hat, sunscreen, and drink plenty of water—March on the Gulf Coast can be sunny and warm, but hydration stations are on-site. Pack light layers for cooler evenings when the reggae heats up the night.
