Brooklyn Roots Outdoor Sound System Vinyl Reggae Series 2026
Roots N Riddim NYC is proud to announce the return of the 4th annual “Brooklyn Roots” Outdoor Sound System Vinyl Reggae Series! One of summer’s most anticipated traditions! No shortcuts—just pure analog vibrations under the Brooklyn sun. Join us as we cultivate the culture and keep it growing.

This isn’t just a party, it’s a preservation of the craft. We’re inviting you to experience the warmth of authentic vinyl and the strength of our collective Riddims.
