Get ready for two unforgettable days of sunshine, rhythm, and positive energy — Reggae Lake Festival returns to Amsterdam’s Gaasperpark on August 15 and 16, 2026. Known as one of Europe’s premier reggae gatherings, the festival celebrates the rich culture and global influence of reggae music, from its deep Jamaican roots to its modern international sounds.

Each year, Reggae Lake attracts thousands of visitors from around the world, drawn by its laid-back atmosphere, vibrant community, and impressive lineup. The 2026 edition promises to be no different, featuring a mix of legendary artists, emerging talents, and local performers across multiple stages. Expect everything from classic roots and dancehall to dub, ska, and Afrobeat-infused grooves — a true reflection of reggae’s evolving spirit.

Beyond the music, the festival offers a full cultural experience. Visitors can explore the Caribbean food market, sip fresh coconuts, and enjoy delicious jerk dishes while browsing through stalls of handmade crafts, fashion, and vinyl. The festival also embraces sustainability, with eco-friendly initiatives and a strong focus on community connection and inclusion.
