4th Annual eventFrom a small, post-pandemic gathering in Lexington to a statewide cultural experience, Deep Nourished Roots (DNR) is the local band that built the foundation for Reggae Week. We saw the need for connection and conscious music, and alongside our partners at Tahlsound, we grew the original Lexington Reggae Fest into a multi-day, family-friendly celebration of unity and rhythm. We aren't just performers; we are the organizers, dedicated to bringing the powerful vibrations of roots reggae to Central Kentucky.
Today, Reggae Week spans venues across the region, culminating in the free, signature Lexington Reggae Fest. It's a journey we pioneered, creating unique events like Reggae At The Gorge—pairing the soul-cleansing sounds with the breathtaking natural beauty of the Red River Gorge. When you support Reggae Week, you are supporting a movement led by local artists committed to spreading a message of "mind freedom" and community upliftment. Join us and feel the deep, nourishing roots of this Kentucky reggae revolution.
