The Reggae Jam is a place held annually reggae - festival in Lower Saxony Bersenbrück . The festival took place for the first time in 1994.

In comparison, the Reggae Jam is smaller than the other major European reggae festivals, such as the Rototom Sunsplash or the Summerjam Festival. In recent years, however, the number of visitors has risen steadily and the artists are also better known than in earlier years, when the reggae jam mainly focused on a few stars and many, mainly German, newcomers. In the reader pool of the magazine riddim , the reggae jam took second place among the festivals in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In the years 2008 to 2015, the festival managed to be voted the best reggae festival in Germany eight times in a row at number 1 in the readers' poll.
