One Love in Delray: Lloyd Stanbury on Launching the Palm Beach Reggae Music & Arts Festival

·58 min·3 clips

The Palm Beach Reggae Music and Arts Festival runs March 20th, 21st, and 22nd with film, live music, and visual art.

Sarah begins with welcome and gratitude, then brings the conversation back to the Cultural Council's mission: a healthy, diverse, inclusive cultural sector. Lloyd arrives as the musical guest, but the festival soon becomes more than a date on the calendar. It is a reason to talk about artists, audiences, collaborators, and the local energy needed to make something feel rooted. Preparation comes up naturally. Sarah knows the festival grind because she has been on the art side herself, and that shared experience keeps the interview from sounding like a promo stop. The better part of the conversation is personal. Why build this close to home? Why bring the work back to Palm Beach County after spending time around Florida at other art events? Lloyd follows that thread, and Sarah names the shift plainly: after creating elsewhere, there is a pull to give something back to the place that already felt like home and inspiration. Local support is the piece that keeps returning. Lloyd and Sarah mention the Cultural Council, Lighthouse Arts Gallery, Kravis, Norton, and other institutions, but the point is not just name-checking venues. They are talking about what it feels like when individual artists can actually find help nearby. Sarah gets that relief. The festival lands as both a public event and a personal return, with gratitude carrying the final minutes.
