6th Annual Houston Reggae Fest

The event will be held at Hermann Square and Tranquility Park in downtown Houston both Saturday and Sunday. The festival line-up includes Mykal Rose, Warrior King, and Jemere Morgan, just to name a few. But music isn’t the only thing you’ll find. This big event will also feature food trucks and creative arts.

Festival road closures
