Reggaetronic: South Carolina’s Floating Musical Extravaganza Returns to Lake Murray

In the picturesque corners of South Carolina, the harmonies of reggae music are set to reverberate once again over the tranquil waters of Lake Murray, as the much-awaited floating music festival, Reggaetronic, returns for another season of rhythm and aquatic excitement.

Lake Murray boasts a legacy of hosting vibrant summer music festivals, establishing it as the undisputed champion of South Carolina’s music scene. After a successful Drift Jam on June 1, Lake Murray is gearing up to host the Reggaetronic Lake Murray Music Festival this Saturday, a prestigious event that has been delighting music enthusiasts since 2011.

Reggaetronic is widely acclaimed as South Carolina’s longest-running flotilla music festival. Unveiling the festive ambiance against the gorgeous backdrop of Spence Island, this festival is the melting pot for an eclectic assortment of modern reggae, funk, rock, and electronic music. Beyond the music, the festival is a haven for camaraderie, encouraging fellowship and friendship while epitomizing the spirit of the Palmetto State.

The Unique Floating Festival Experience

Reggaetronic is not your typical music festival. Its unique edge lies in its entirely floating set-up on the tranquil lake. To enjoy the festival up-close, music lovers need to arrive aboard their boats. Navigating away from traditional land-anchored festivity, Reggaetronic transforms into a maritime extravaganza, an unmatched experience on the serene waters of Lake Murray. Allowing only boats, predominantly gas-powered, a bustling crowd of approximately 2,000 boats is usually observed at past festivals.

Community Engagement and Special Attractions

Reggaetronic is proud of its local roots and community engagement. The festival, under the visionary leadership of founder Ronnie Alexander, has consistently worked with the Lexington community. Partnering with distinguished local businesses like Tidewater Boats, Monster Energy, Capital City Lake Murray Country, Wilson Marine, Coogler Construction, and others, the festival offers a free entry, which is rare for an event of such magnitude. Furthermore, it generates funds for social causes, and a part of festival proceeds support the Jamil Temple Shriners for their generous contributions to the Children’s Hospital of South Carolina.

Festival Music Acts

This year’s musical line-up for the festival is nothing short of extraordinary. The list of performers includes Lefty At The Washout, known for their unique blend of reggae and rock, and Bois Obscur, a Columbia native DJ acclaimed for his infectiously danceable tracks. Treehouse and Of Good Nature will infuse the festival with a strong pulse of reggae-rock music, while headlining act Zach Deputy promises an unforgettable musical experience with his mix of island vibe and southern soul.

In a nutshell, the return of the Reggaetronic Lake Murray Music Festival offers a promise of a musical bonanza. If you appreciate the magic of reggae rhythms and the allure of lake festivities, the Reggaetronic festival is a treat you wouldn’t want to miss. Just remember to bring your sunscreen.
