The Festival
The Festival strives to increase awareness of the powerful message of "unity" behind reggae music and culture in Canada and abroad, assist artists in gaining exposure both nationally and internationally, foster positive attitude, racial and religious harmony, as well as a greater understanding and appreciation of our unique multicultural society. Reggae festivals around the world are known for their incredible community support and rapid growth. The international reggae music and culture scene is as forceful as it is unique in its many multi-cultural influences. Reggae Music is everybody's music.
This year's festival theme is "United Against Violence". We are greatly involved with the community and need everyone's support in any way possible. Some of the proceeds will be donated to the Montreal's Children's Hospital Fund.
