9 mile music festival

The 9 Mile Music Festival, also written as the Nine Mile Music Festival and known as the Bob Marley Festival, Marley Fest and Caribbean Festival, is an annual music event held every year since 1993 in Miami, Florida. It was started by Cedella Marley Booker to keep alive her son Bob Marley’s message of peace, love and unity. The festival also serves as a food drive, collecting canned goods from attendees as a part of the admission to the event. These donations help feed the needy in the Miami area through various local charities.

The one-day music festival has taken place every year since 1993. The festival has a focus on reggae, but also incorporates other music genres like dance, hip hop, rock and R&B.

Bob Marley’s children Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Julian Marley, Ky-mani Marley and Damian Marley have performed at many of the editions. Other performers have included Carlos Santana, Lauryn Hill, Hootie & the Blowfish, Erykah Badu, Burning Spear, Buju Banton, Sizzla Kalonji, Capleton, Pitbull, 2 Chainz, Future, T.I., Tarrus Riley, Konshens, Machel Montano, Diana King, SOJA, Slightly Stoopid, Thievery Corporation, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Mavado, DMX, India Arie, Inner Circle and Major Lazer.
