Reggae Live Nation’s 2013 poster brought together Edge Michael, Wilmington’s Signal Fire Band, Teddy Selassie from New York City and Raleigh’s Crucial Fiya. The billing connected performers from different places within a single event at The Beach House on Market Street.
The Saturday programme was advertised for Independence Weekend, with gates at 2pm and music beginning at 4pm. Its afternoon opening and multiple live acts gave the gathering a festival format, rather than the shorter evening schedule of a club show.
This is the earliest Beach House festival currently represented in the archive. The 2014 promotion identifies the next edition as the second annual festival, followed by the third annual event in 2015. Keeping these posters together across separate pages records how the lineup and identity of the series developed over time.
