FloGrown Festival 2016

FloGrown Festival Announces Reggae Act Stick Figure as Headliner for Inaugural Event | Central Florida Fairgrounds, Orlando, FL | Saturday, October 1, 2016

by • August 17, 2016

A new music festival is growing roots in Orlando. It brings a little bit of ripe reggae, mixed with a little bit of crisp country, and hopefully will include some fun and interesting crossbreed mashups colliding two different universes. Chart-topping reggae act Stick Figure will be headlining the inaugural FloGrown Festival as it kicks off at the Central Florida Fairgrounds on Saturday, October 1, 2016. The band’s signature sound and addictive, hypnotic rhythms will provide the perfect highlight for a festival that is essentially a one-day celebration of the Florida lifestyle. Other reggae acts set to perform include: New Kingston, Florida natives SOWFLO, 40 Oz to Freedom,  and more.

Dual main stages, an expansive festival fairground, and a beautiful lake will serve as the setting for a day filled with music, food, drink, water sports, and outdoor activities that make Florida unique. “The Beach” main stage will feature the reggae/ska sounds of the coastal sandy beaches, while “The Swamp” main stage will rock Florida’s country roots. Festival organizers will be announcing their country stage headliner on August 28th.

Additionally, the festival fairgrounds will feature the FloGrown Wakeboarding Invitational on Lawne Lake, Ultimate FloGrown Truck Meet, Tailgate Nation, Miss FloGrown Contest, BBQ Smoke Off, Yuengling Beachside VIP Party area, and more.

Kicking off at 11:00 a.m., tricked out trucks from across the state will roll-in to showcase and compete in the inaugural FloGrown Truck Meet, sponsored by FloGrown and Truck Fever. The top three trucks will be crowned FloGrown Truck Meet Winners 2016 at 1:30 p.m. on “The Swamp” main stage. A crowning of another sort will be taking place over at the “The Beach” main stage as ladies compete for the title of Miss FloGrown 2016. Lawne Lake will play host to the first FloGrown Wake Invitational, as a backdrop to “The Beach” main stage. Five of the world’s top wakeboarders will hit the water and the air as live music rocks the beach.

“Florida is very unique in that it offers the ability to spend the day at the beach surfing and fishing, and by nightfall you can be sitting on the tailgate of your lifted truck in the woods by a campfire. By bringing country and reggae together on one day we’ve harmonized this true FloGrown Floridian lifestyle,” says FloGrown founder Jesse Welch.
