Cramer’s Park, located near Point Udall on the eastern side of St. Croix, is an ideal location for a music festival. The stage is surrounded by lush
grass. Just beyond lays the breathtaking beach. Stroll along the water’s
edge and watch a near full moon radiate off of Knight Bay. Mix in some of Dean Pond’s masterful engineering, a proper helping of 100% STX roots vibes, and you have the perfect recipe for Paradise!
Tickets for this one-day musical extravaganza will be available at the gate, or may be purchased in advance from Natural Mystic located in Sunny Isle (across from Western Auto). (340) 772-1848.
The first WRIP was a blessed historical event. The twenty singers over some 10 hours were highlighted by Ronnie Benjamin Sr.’s first performance on the island in16 years. For a full review of my first visit to paradise, pick up the current Reggae Festival Guide or go to
