The Arkansas Reggae Festival has its roots in a rich history of reggae celebrations in Central Arkansas. Before adopting its current name, One Love Entertainment organized a series of beloved events in the early and mid-2000s, including the Bob Marley Tribute, Reggae Funsplash, and Reggae at the Riverfront. In 2020, the Arkansas Reggae Festival name was officially created, but the launch was delayed until 2023 due to the impacts of Covid-19. Over the years, these festivals have welcomed an impressive lineup of international reggae artists, including Ky-Mani Marley, Tippa Irie, Mikey Dread, Lutan Fyah, Perfect Giddimani, The Itals, Joseph Israel, and Third World, among many others. Each event has carried the mission of spreading positive energy, unity, and authentic reggae culture. We invite you to be part of this year’s Arkansas Reggae Festival—come share the vibes and feel the Irie spirit! One Love, Ras Levi.
