Fat snowflakes fell on the crowd at the 22nd annual Bud Light Reggae Fest at Sugarloaf on Saturday, giving the popular Carrabassett Valley event a traditional mix of Maine and Caribbean atmosphere.

The festival, which started Thursday and continues today, features reggae performances inside and outdoors that accompany skiers and snowboarders enjoying spring runs down the mountain.
