TABLE SET UP w/ KAZI 88.7FM Radio.

The Austin reggae community converged for the first time on May 7th 1994, at Auditorium Shores in downtown Austin, Texas to pay tribute to the late great Bob Marley.  

In the spirit of Bob Marley the show was free but patrons were asked to bring two cans of non-perishable food to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank. 

When the gates opened on that sunny Sunday morning, the organizers and food bank officials had set up a dozen barrels at the entrance for the donations.  

Within a couple of hours of opening, the barrels were overflowing and a Uhaul was brought to the front gate to help collect and store an overwhelming amount of donations. 

Austinites embraced this event from the beginning and it has only grown ever since then 🤍.
