Tosh Fest, an event celebrating Peter Tosh, the reggae icon also known as the Stepping Razor, returns this year as part of an ongoing initiative aimed at addressing disparities in the reggae icon’s hometown in Westmoreland.

Presented by the Peter Tosh Foundation, this free, family-oriented community festival slated for Sunday October 19, at the Peter Tosh Memorial Garden in Bluefields aims to celebrate Tosh’s legacy on what would have been his 81^st birthday.

The festival will feature live performances, local vendors, family fun and a tribute ceremony in the reggae icon’s honour.  

Peter Tosh, born Winston Hubert McIntosh was one of the core members of the Wailers Band and a successful solo artiste credited with major hits.

He was a relentless advocate for justice, equality, and the decriminalization of Marijuana. The Reggae Legend was murdered on September 11, 1987, during a home invasion in Kingston. He was only 42 years old.
