Second Annual Cali-RAD Fest Returns To San Diego, Benefiting CureDuchenne

The second annual Cali-RAD Fest (Reggae Against Duchenne) will return to The Beach House in Mission Beach to benefit CureDuchenne, a leading global nonprofit focused on funding and finding a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Cali-RAD Fest is back with an unforgettable lineup

The event will feature an unforgettable lineup with reggae artists Through the Roots, Sammy Dread, Common Sense, SM Familia, Skyler Lutes Band, Indica Roots, Beech City, and DJ: Real Alofa Sound & Fady Hermez.

Bands will perform at the iconic Beach House, a beachfront venue with stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean in San Diego’s Mission Beach.

Tickets for the all-ages show are $50 for ages 16 and up and $30 for youth. VIP tickets with access to the second story Sky Lounge with private bar and outdoor patio are $100.

A dedication to finding a cure for CureDuchenne

Christian Hogan and his son, Micah, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, were inspired to organize Cali-RAD Fest after attending a reggae show in Long Beach. They aimed to combine their passion for reggae with their mission to raise funds for Duchenne research.

Christian expressed their excitement about partnering with local reggae bands and the community, emphasizing the significance of supporting CureDuchenne to advance research for those affected by the disease.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe genetic ailment affecting approximately 1 in 5,000 male births. CureDuchenne, established in 2003, has raised over $50 million for research, funding 17 projects that progressed to human clinical trials and offering programs to support affected families worldwide.

Debra Miller, CureDuchenne’s Founder and CEO, praised Christian and Micah’s efforts, empathizing as a parent of a Duchenne patient, and commended families who dedicate themselves to the cause.
