This smaller venue on Cleveland\u2019s near west side became legendary for its vibrant atmosphere, with people lining up outside for up to an hour just to experience the incredible vibe of \u201cThe Reggae Brunch.\u201d However, the 25<\/span><\/span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">th<\/span><\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"> anniversary celebration was put on hold when Covid-19 hit, and eventually plans were scrapped due to health and safety reasons. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">With respect to Norm Plonski, the owner of the Parkview, the group has decided not to use the same branding for this event. Instead, they chose to incorporate some of the elements that made the original event so special. Feeling it was time to move forward, they decided to create a new celebration at a larger venue; thus the Beachland Ballroom was selected.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The festivities will commence with <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>DJ Bryan Watson<\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"> spinning some tunes to set the tone for the evening.
