Reggae on the River was an annual festival in Humboldt County, California that began in 1984 (ceasing in 2019) as a fundraiser for the Mateel Community Center, drawing reggae heavyweights like Toots and the Maytals, Steel Pulse, and Ziggy Marley. This flier concerns a controversy over revenue between the production company (People Productions), Mateel, and the owner of the property where the event was held, which led to the cancellation of the festival and the start of a breakaway festival, Reggae Rising (2007-2009).
