Reggae on the River

Reggae on the River www.reggaeontheriver.com In 2024 Reggae on the River made its triumphant return to Humboldt County. We cannot wait to see you all again in 2025!

We are very grateful our festival community has spoken and its message has been heard loud & clear by the Mateel Community Center and Hot Milk Entertainment. Reggae on the River was established in 1984 as a fundraiser to rebuild the Mateel Community Center after their original location, the old fireman’s hall, was burnt down. This event created a merger of Northern California cannabis culture with

Jamaican reggae music. And since then, Reggae on the River has evolved into one of the most recognized and iconic reggae festivals in the world! Over the course of the last 40 years, over half a million people have made the pilgrimage to this unique setting in Humboldt County on the the Eel River. They’ve come to enjoy the arts, the river, the redwoods, the excitement, the ganja, the people, the unity, and the world renowned artists that only Reggae on the River can offer!

🌍✨ At Reggae On The River, we gather not just for the music—but for the deeper values that bring us together: peace, unity, and community.

In a world that is divided and heavy, reggae reminds us of our shared humanity. The rhythm is resistance, the lyrics are love, and the dance is healing.

From the beginning, Kim Sallaway helped shape the soul of this event. He was one of the visionaries who introduced our eternal emblem: Unity—a symbol that still guides us today. Kim often reminded us of what this festival is truly about with his simple, powerful words: “The power of we.”

This August, we return to the river not just to celebrate reggae—but to stand for something greater: a future rooted in connection and compassion.

One love. One heart. Let’s get together and feel all right. 💛💚❤️
