The festival
On the island of Fühlinger See, north of Cologne, Summerjam is one of the largest reggae festivals in Europe. Created in 1986 on the Loreley stage, which has been in Cologne since 1996, it makes tens of thousands of festivalgoers vibrate every summer with the sound of reggae, dancehall and Afro music, between the Red Stage and the Green Stage, facing the lake.
