Grammy-nominated reggae artist Jesse Royal will headline the fifth annual One Earth ReggaeFest when the free festival returns to SteelStacks on Saturday, July 11, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Presented by ArtsQuest and Movement Moves Media, One Earth has quickly grown into one of the Northeast’s signature reggae festivals. Last year’s event drew more than 14,000 attendees, setting the SteelStacks campus record for single-day attendance and making One Earth one of the nation’s largest free reggae festivals. 
This year’s lineup features co-headliners Fayuca alongside a full day of performances spanning Roots Reggae, Reggae-Rock, Hip Hop and conscious music across multiple stages throughout the SteelStacks campus.
Additional artists include The Big Takeover, Space Kamp, Cultivated Mind, Hector “Roots” Lewis, Marrissa Joy, and more, with yoga, local vendors and community organizations rounding out the day’s festivities.
“One Earth Reggae Festival has grown into one of the signature reggae events in the Northeast because it stays true to what reggae has always represented, unity, positivity and bringing people together through music,” says Patrick Brogan, Chief Programming Officer of ArtsQuest. “We’re proud to partner with Movement Moves Media to create a festival that celebrates the roots of reggae while introducing audiences to artists who are helping shape its future. Whether you’re a lifelong reggae fan or discovering the genre for the first time, One Earth offers an experience that feels authentic and welcoming while uplifting the community.”
The name and concept of One Earth traces back to genre-bending duo Space Kamp after performing as part of ArtsQuest’s Summer Series. “After working with Movement Moves and artsquest at SteelStacks, we knew this would be the perfect home for One Earth and no one would do it better,” says Adoo of Space Kamp. “We’re grateful to Mike and Movement Moves Media for bringing the idea to ArtsQuest and to ArtsQuest for believing in the vision.” Space Kamp has remained deeply involved in the festival’s development, helping curate the lineup each year while returning in 2026 as both performers and as the festival’s official hosts.
“Reggae has always been about more than music, it’s about people, culture and connection. That’s what we’ve tried to build with One Earth from day one,” says Mike Frassetto, Founder and Executive Director of Movement Moves Media. “Every artist in this lineup brings something different, from roots reggae to ska, reggae-rock and modern revival, but they all share the same spirit of positivity and authenticity. Celebrating five years at SteelStacks is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, and we can’t wait to welcome the reggae community back for another unforgettable day.”
ArtsQuest, the nonprofit organization behind SteelStacks, is also the producer of Musikfest, the nation’s largest free, non-gated music festival. The annual event has helped establish Bethlehem as one of America’s premier music destinations, attracting more than one million visitors each summer.
Past editions of One Earth have featured an impressive mix of reggae legends and rising stars, including Sister Nancy, Tropidelic, Red Fox and Screechy Dan, Eli-Mac, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Addis Pablo, Arise Roots, Fyah and many others.
As the festival celebrates its fifth anniversary, it continues to honor reggae’s rich traditions while creating a stage for the next generation of artists and fostering a sense of community that has become its defining characteristic.
One Earth ReggaeFest takes place Saturday, July 11, at SteelStacks in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Admission is free and all ages are welcome.
