The annual OneEarth ReggaeFest returns to the SteelStacks campus in Bethlehem for its fifth year this Saturday, July 11, bringing two-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Royal and more than a dozen acts to three free outdoor stages from noon through 1:30 a.m. the following morning.
The Headliner and Full Lineup
Topping the bill is Jesse Royal, a Jamaican-born artist known for blending traditional roots reggae with contemporary influences and socially conscious lyrics. Royal has received two Grammy Award nominations and is regarded as one of the leading voices in modern roots reggae.
Joining him on the bill are Fayuca, a nationally touring Latino reggae-rock ensemble, and The Big Takeover, a Hudson Valley reggae group led by NeeNee Rushie. The full lineup includes more than a dozen acts across three stages throughout the day and evening, making it one of the largest single-day reggae events in the country, according to organizers.
A Full Day at the Furnaces
The festival day begins at noon with a free all-levels yoga session on the Levitt Lawn, led by Sophie Hami of Hanna Chakra. Live music then takes over three stages simultaneously: the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks main stage, the Air Products Town Square stage, and the Williams Brew Stage, running continuously through 1:30 a.m.
The event is produced in partnership with Movement Moves Media and unfolds against the backdrop of the iconic Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces, widely considered one of the most striking open-air concert settings in the region. Now in its fifth year at ArtsQuest, the festival has grown into a signature summer event on the Lehigh Valley calendar.

The SteelStacks campus is at 101 Founders Way in Bethlehem, adjacent to the former Bethlehem Steel plant site. Admission to OneEarth ReggaeFest is free. A full stage schedule and lineup details are available at artsquest.org.
