MIRAMAR – With just days to go, anticipation for the upcoming Vintage Reggae Winter Festival, set for Sunday, February 19, is at a high as fans prepare to welcome the Big Ship captain, Freddie McGregor back to South Florida this weekend. Freddie is set to share the stage with the Reggae Queen Marcia Griffiths and King Yellowman along with Leroy Sibbles, Charlie Chaplin, Professor Nuts and Little John, making this a show that cannot be missed!
Sailing into town armed with an extensive repertoire of hits, spanning the Studio One days to his current remake of the classic “A House is Not A Home”, Freddie is ready to entertain patrons with his delivery of rocking smooth melodies of Reggae on Sunday at Miramar Regional Park, located at 16801 Miramar Parkway, just west of I-75. A favorite of the South Florida audience, Freddie will have everyone singing, dancing and calling for more when he takes the stage at the initial installment of Vintage Reggae Winter Festival.
