About this happenin
Four days each March, Reggae Rise Up Florida sets up multiple stages in Vinoy Park on St. Petersburg's downtown waterfront. The stages stand among live oaks and palms at the edge of Tampa Bay. More than a hundred craft and food vendors, dozens of beverage stations, live muralists and large-scale art installations spread across the grounds. Crowds push past 15,000 a day, though the park leaves enough lawn to set a chair well back from the rail. The festival points drivers to the SouthCore Parking Garage downtown, entered from 1st Avenue South between 1st and 2nd Streets. A free city trolley runs between the garage and the park about every 15 minutes, though seats on it are limited. Gates open at 4pm on the opening day and at noon on the full days, rain or shine with no refunds, and city ordinance ends the music at 10pm nightly. Tickets are tiered, starting at single-day general admission and topping out at four-day Platinum (kids 12 and under are free). Only GA+ wristbands and the VIP and Platinum tiers allow re-entry. Blankets, coolers, tents and any bag bigger than 14 by 14 inches get turned away, so bring a chair and an empty refillable bottle.
More in March: 12 other Tampa Bay events.
