Attracting more than 20,000 people each year, the Jazz Reggae Festival at UCLA is the largest festival of its kind on the West Coast. Featuring some of the most prominent artists from around the world, an international Food, Arts & Craft Fair and the warm Los Angeles sun, the festival creates an experience like none other. This 23rd year continues our efforts to become a no-waste, sustainable festival. Rooted in culture, this highly regarded event is considered a staple of Los Angeles tradition and is eagerly anticipated by people from all over.

Our Theme: “A Culture of Change”.
Over the years, the Jazz Reggae Festival has expanded to become the largest student run nonprofit event in the nation! Obviously, there are huge undertones that accompany this theme that we are confident will garner excitement and draw another sold-out show. This theme will echo through the artists, vendors, and overall ambiance of the festival.
