California Roots Music and Arts Festival – Monterey, California

California Roots Music and Arts Festival, often called Cali Roots, is one of the largest reggae-oriented music and arts events in the United States. Founded in 2010, the festival blends reggae, reggae-rock, roots, hip-hop, and related styles across multiple stages, drawing thousands of fans each year to the historic Monterey County Fairgrounds. It has grown from a one-day showcase into a multi-day celebration of live music, community, culture, and sustainability, and is widely regarded as a cornerstone of the West Coast reggae festival scene.
