We are only a few days away from The Greenville Reggae Block Party

Thank you all so much for your support so far! We really appreciate it.

There have been several questions to what you can and cannot bring.

Chairs are ok but this is a Block Party. So space will be limited for you to place your chair.

No Outside coolers or alcohol. We will have 2 cash bars( serving beer, wine, and a rum punch we are keeping it light because kids will be present )and Tipsy Trails Taps will have some local favorites (beer and wine)

You will need to see our staff at our tent designated for your wristbands and to have your id checked.

We will have Goldsmith Street completely blocked off starting at the intersection of Pointsette Hwy, this is where our vendors will be selling artwork, beauty products, jewelry and etc.

We will have speakers so the music from our DJ and Mystic Vibrations will be heard on Goldsmith Street as well.

Our food and beverage vendors will behind the Pavilion.

Hey SC vacationers, if you visit Hilton Head Island, stop by Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, where you'll find my stop (plaque) on the HHI Poetry Trail near the Toni Morrison, A Bench by the Road.
