Colorful poster for the 5th Annual California Roots Music & Arts Festival in Monterey, CA, held May 23-25, 2014, at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, with stylized trees and a sunset background.

The California Roots Music & Arts Festival began as a small grassroots event in Monterey.  It’s now one of the largest and more unique festivals in the country. Combining elements of art, music and environmental consciousness, The California Roots Music & Arts Festival will enter its 5th a year with a family environment, zero waste program and live art. Set in the historic Monterey County Fairgrounds, fans will see some of today’s biggest reggae acts on the same legendary stage that was graced by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Who in 1967.
