As one of the most versatile DJs on the planet\, Scratch has toured with legends like Russell Peters and Usher. His ability to blend genres—from old-school R&B to high-energy Soca—makes him the perfect counterpart to Rodigan’s reggae mastery. \nWhat to Expect at Acqua\nLocated on the historic CNE grounds\, Acqua provides the perfect upscale\, sun-drenched backdrop for this 3 PM to 9 PM event.

With the lake breeze and world-class selectors\, it’s the centerpiece of the June entertainment calendar. \nTickets & Availability\nWarning: This event is 100% expected to sell out.
