Bob Marley Week

Reggae fans and Rastafarians gather in Kingston during the first week of February each year to enjoy a feast of events lined up to commemorate the life and music of Jamaica's best-known son, Bob Marley. Apart from a concert, the week includes symposiums, lectures, karaoke contests, a fashion show, exhibitions and various other events related to Marley, who died of cancer in 1981. The week is organised by the Bob Marley Foundation in conjunction with the Bob Marley Museum.
