The biggest beach music fest on St. Croix Reef Jam will be held from 1-10 p.m., Sunday, May 24, at Rhythm's Rainbow Beach in Frederiksted. This event will feature live music from Siete Son, Kurt Schindler and The Reggae Bubblers, along with a family activity corner with marine-related educational games and demonstrations, underwater photography contests, a free snorkel excursion, local food vendors, T-shirts, raffles and more. The second annual St. Croix Reef Jam is a family-friendly fundraiser for local coral reef education and conservation efforts; all proceeds will stay on St. Croix.
Founded during International Year of the Reef 2008 by Kurt and Janelle Schindler, St. Croix Reef Jam is a grass-roots organization dedicated to improving the health of V.I. coral reefs through community education, stewardship and conservation programs that promote positive behavior changes toward marine environment.
All proceeds from this year's Reef Jam will be distributed to the St. Croix community through a mini-grant program for which community organizations, schools, non-profits, government agencies, and individuals with projects aligned with Reef Jam's mission can apply.
