The 23rd Annual Jazz Reggae Festival at UCLA | 2009

A Culture of Change Memorial Day Weekend May 24 – 25, 2009

LOS ANGELES, April 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The 23rd Annual Jazz Reggae Festival at UCLA, a Culture of Change, is rapidly approaching Memorial Day Weekend May 24th – 25th.
The student-run festival, which has attracted an average of 30,000
attendees annually over the past 6 years, features the most prominent
and critically acclaimed artists from around the world, along with an
international food, arts, and crafts fair. This year’s theme, A Culture
of Change, will be incorporated into all aspects of the show. Our
artists, vendors, sponsors and messages are cohesive in support of our
social and environmental change. With this in mind, the festival’s
production team is proud to present this year’s headlining artists for
both days:

Jam Day (May 24) – ERYKAH BADU

Reggae Day (May 25) – MAVADO

In addition to booking an elite line up and maintaining the art
production value with two LED screens, the production team has
continued their efforts in making the festival as environmentally
progressive as possible. Our specified Sustainability Team is working
alongside many non-profit organizations to ensure that all aspects of
the show are eco-friendly. Waste-separation and direct recycling will
be exercised, along with strong encouragement to our vendors to use
biodegradable materials. A sustainability tent will provide the
attendees information on fair-trade products, energy and water
conservation, and the benefits of using locally grown products.
