The Reggaetronic team is bringing a new flavor of music festivals to Lake Murray with the return of Lake Murray Palooza July 11th from 11AM to 7PM. Set against the scenic backdrop of Fat Frogs Marina (formerly Frayed Knot Marina), this one-of-a-kind event will feature country, rock, southern rock, reggae, and live DJ performances both on land and on the water.
This unforgettable outdoor festival celebrates the start of summer by combining great music, boating culture, and community involvement. Attendees can access the festival by land or by lake, creating a unique experience that

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Gamechangers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing faith-based summer camp opportunities and support programs for underprivileged children.
New this year, attendees who are unable to arrive by boat can purchase Beach Club land-access tickets at www. reggaetronicsc.com, making it easier than ever for everyone to join the festivities.
