Activities in the Cissac Medoc region
Yes reggae is the word for the first weekend in August.
The village with its population of 2000 people fills up with over 20,000 festival goes, tents can be found hiding in the vineyards, the local campsite overflowing into the fields on either side.
Walk down the street and people wearing the red, green, yellow and black can been seen selling their wears, a beer and sandwich bar in the back of a car... a few tee-shirts or a beanie. This summer we are lucky the program posted includes : The Herbaliser, Patrice, Horace Andy and Babylon Circus in the lineup
Security is tight to get into the festival, before the rastafarian vibe takes over driven by the beat from one of the concerts running throughout the weekend. Clothing and rasta accessory stands can be found at the entrance, here with the "moneycrash" the prices are cheap. You can find a few deals if you are looking for reggae t-shirts, sweatshirts or a beanie for men and women.
The beer tent situated at the back (with a rather difficult beer ticket system) leads to the only problem; only 6 toilets for 20.000 people... you can imagine the mess!
