Summerjam

The Summerjam is one of the biggest reggae festivals in Europe. It takes place every year since 1986 held the first or second weekend in July. Under a changing theme each year occurs on a variety of artists from the worldwide reggae and dancehall scene.

History

The Summerjam was first held in 1986 at the Loreley Sankt Goar at. Due to the ever increasing number of visitors and the limited space available, had the festival in 1994, after eight years at the Loreley, held at a different venue. Transitional this was the site of the wild - Airfields Rath, a former military airfield in Wegberg used. Due to criticism of the festival visitors, the terrain is not suitable for a reggae festival, was I quickly search for a new venue. This was with the Fühlinger lake found in the north of the city of Cologne, where the Summerjam attracts annually since 1996, now up to 30,000 reggae fans from around the world. In addition, since 2009, some concert recordings in the WDR are transmitted television.

Site

The festival site itself is located on an island that can be reached via three access bridges. There are in addition to the two stages that are simultaneously recorded by the artists, also a large bazaar and snack and drink stands. By the year 2010, a dancehall Area was on the actual festival grounds, but this was in 2011, due to a larger space available on the campsite, close to the festival island to be relocated.

Camping

The camping area is located around the festival island and the complete Fühlinger lake. Plus, there's a special area for campers and a family-friendly camping area. However, the tickets for these areas must be reserved in advance.
