Reggae on the River

A Humboldt County legend. Reggae on the River celebrates music, culture, and cannabis in one of California's most iconic festival settings. Three days of reggae, the Eel River, and real vibes — the kind that are impossible to manufacture and that keep people coming back year after year. This festival has been going strong since the 1980s, rooted deep in Northern California's counterculture and cannabis heritage. The lineup consistently brings world-class reggae and roots artists, while the crowd that shows up is a beautiful mix of longtime devotees, newcomers, and every generation in between. The setting alone — lush riverbanks, ancient redwood energy, pure Northern California wilderness — makes it unlike anything else on the festival circuit. If Humboldt is cannabis country, then Reggae on the River is its heartbeat. Block your dates and start planning now.
