Everything you need to know about Summerjam 

Taking place annually during the first weekend of July, more than 30.000 people from across Europe come together to enjoy a weekend filled with the best reggae vibes, dancehall sounds and hip-hop beats by the Fühlinger Lake.

Located to the north of Cologne, the festival is easily accessible via car and public transport - keep in mind that drivers will need to buy a special parking ticket ahead of time.
