The second annual PortCity Reggae Music & Arts Festival assembled Inner Circle, Edge Michael, Signal Fire, Of Good Nature, Danglin and Sons of Paradise on one bill. The July 6 poster presented the day as a wider cultural gathering, advertising vendors, food and culture alongside the music.
The mix of a headline band, individual vocalists and regional groups gave the festival a broader format than a single touring concert. Greenfield Lake Amphitheater provided the Wilmington setting, while the original design preserved each act’s place within the advertised programme.
This archive now includes the original lineup poster as well as the linked local television preview. It is the July 2019 festival, separate from the April 20 PortCity 420 event at the same venue. Keeping the two dates distinct preserves the different artwork and musical programmes attached to each.
