On weekend of September 28th, Roots On 66 Festival in Victorville, California brought reggae music to the high desert. With more than 40 bands connected people through reggae over the weekend, it was like a big backyard party with all your friends. The weekend started off with a pre-party in the camping area, with Elihu opening, followed by Skunkdub and Inna Vision. Dan Kelly closed out the night in the camping area, with everyone dancing and trying to stay warm.
