From the bottom of our hearts — THANK YOU 🙏🌊

Rigs & Reggae on the Pier 2026 is a wrap, and we’re still floating. Three days of gathering, sharing, dancing, laughing, and caring for one another on that pier — it was everything we hoped for and so much more.

To everyone who attended, rolled in with a rig, or just came down for the music: thank you for showing up with open hearts. To our volunteers who gave their time and energy: we couldn’t have done it without you. To the artists who filled the pier with sound and soul: you were incredible. To our sponsors, partners, vendors, and every local business that welcomed us into Astoria: thank you for believing in this. And to everyone who shared, tagged, told a friend, or just sent good vibes our way: it all mattered.

What we love most about this festival is watching people come together around music — new friends made, old friends reunited, a community bridged. That’s the whole point, and you all made it real 💛

We’re so grateful to be surrounded by such amazing people. This is only the beginning, and we can’t wait to keep growing it with you in the years to come.

With love,
Christine & Peter 🚐🎶

We’re so excited to welcome the Astoria Uppertown Business Association on board as a sponsor of Rigs & Reggae 2026! 🙌⚓

A little about our friends at AUBA: they’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit representing businesses on the east end of Astoria, with a mission to celebrate and preserve the city’s history and culture — supporting local businesses, promoting tourism, and building community in the Uppertown district.

And here’s the best part: Uppertown is exactly where Pier 39 sits 🌊 Having the neighborhood itself behind this festival means everything as we bring Rigs & Reggae to Astoria for the first time.
