The music was just right, the weather was just right, it was not crowed, no fights, and Mr. Vegas & Barrington Levy took the show. I did not like the fact that outdoor cigarettes smoking was allowed.

I enjoyed myself...loved the bands, did a lot of shopping. My only complaint is that I bought VIP tickets which I thought were a joke. They were situated on the side of the stage so you could not see anything. I had lunch there and left. Was a big waste of money. Also not enough tables had to eat standing up. What a joke.
Also it was sad to see all people leaving and a very sleepy crowd by the time Ziggy came on.

The first year I went, it was extremely hot and I didn't know what to expect, but was well worth a 5 star rating. This is the second year I've went and this time I bought the deluxe tickets. Deluxe tickets included; seating, shade (a plus, esp if hot), drinks, food, and take home bags with goodies. The deluxe tickets are definitely worth the shade, seating, and drinks. The deluxe area also provided TV streaming of the concert. However, it does not provide a very good listening experience. Because the deluxe area is off to the side, the music sounds muffled. I wish they'd face some kind of speaker system toward the area. The only way to thoroughly enjoy the music was to be towards the front of the stage. I may be asking for too much, but you think you'd get at least a decent audio experience being the the deluxe area. Also note that you can't see the stage from the deluxe area.
The artist line up was excellent. Another problem I had was with the selling of food. I'm not sure who dropped the ball (whether it be UCLA or the vendors), but the vendors were unable to sell the food and drinks because of problems with the hot water for about two to three hours. Luckily, I had the deluxe tickets, so food and beverages were provided (though I wish they did state the food was only 1 meal). I could see how agitated people were getting as time went on and the heat began to kick it. You'd think that with a 12 o'clock start for the festival, that'd give them plenty of time to ensure that all the preparations regarding drinks and food would be settled. I do wish that the people who ran their Facebook page would of at least addressed or apologized for the situation, but they pretended like nothing happened. Nonetheless, I had an excellent time and would definitely go again. I HAD to deduct two stars for them failing at something so important for an outdoor festival. Next time, I'll be sure to eat before hand, just in case they have problems with the food and drinks.

This was a totally chill venue that was great for the whole family. Variety of food vendors offered great food choices. Lawn seating provided picnic like setting. No alcohol was allowed or offered which made it that more comfortable environment for families with children to not be concerned of the event getting out of control. Nice location for great So. Cal. weather. 2days of great performers at an AWESOME price. Free supervised Bicycle Valet was a nice bonus for cyclist.

The four performers were Jahwsome!! Marcia Griffith was one of the I threes for Bob Marley - Her voice is as melodic as it was 30 year ago. Mr Vegas was a very nice surprise. He is a world class entertainer but did a medley of "reggae oldies" which was extremely satisfying. Barrington Levy had the crowd in the palm of his hand and had a singalong competition with the left center and right hand side of the audience. The headliner was none other than Mr Ziggy Marley whose band consisted of 4 guitarist 2 keyboard player a drummer and a percussionist. He also had a dancer and back up singer who was a talent in her own right. It was truly special to see his young kids skanking in the wings ( don't quote me on that) - He has great positive songs with infectious melodies. - The crowd was chillin and it was a great Reggae Day.

With the exception of Common, the first day was horrible! I don't know why they call this a jazz fest because there was no jazz music. After waiting hours for the vendors to start serving food, I finally couldn't wait anymore and by 3:30 I ended up going to the UCLA student center. The only place serving food was Carl's Jr., which I didn't want but had no choice. After waiting in line for an hour I finally received my food and headed back to the festival and as I'm walking back I heard Common! I was pissed because I missed the beginning of his performance and he was the main person I went to see. The second day was more organized and had better performers but I want a refund for the first day.

Ziggy was as wonderful as expected! Marcia was the beautiful and gracious artist that she has always been. Truly a Reggae Queen!!!!!!!
The venue was great! Lots of craft booths, and very wisely arranged on one side with the food booths on the other. Also plenty of restrooms, and kept clean.
UCLA should be proud, and should receive their "props" for a wonderful festival!!!

Had a very good day at UCLA reggae joint. Artists were jamming, especially Marcia Griffith. Sat in deluxe seats and was pleasantly surprised at the food and swag that came with the seated, shaded area. Only issue was seat placement at far left of the stage (had to jockey for position to really eyeball the acts).

I'm surprised that not too many people showed up to this event when Ziggy Marley performed.
The preceding acts were just ok. Barrington Levy was overdoing and spen too much time on stage.
MORE Ziggy next time please.

I used to attend this event back when it was free, now it's $30 plus fees, oh well, I guess. But the fact that you can't bring chairs is ridiculous. Having to sit on the hard ground for hours is extremely uncomfortable. AND, no where did it say you couldn't bring chairs, NOT ONE sign listed chairs.
The acts were great but the experience was not.
