Bob Marley's 79th bday to be celebrated at Annual Jamaican Jerk Fest

The highly anticipated 2nd Annual Jamaican Jerk, Roots & Reggae Festival will make its return on February 10, 2024 (Saturday). The Festival will celebrate the Legendary Bob Marley's 79th birthday and the launch of the premier of his One Love Movie.

The Festival will take place at Ruben Romero Park, Mill Ave & All American Way, Tempe, AZ, from 12PM to 6PM. This will be a fun day event full of food, culture, music and vibes from Jamaica and the islands.

The Event is hosted by the Afro-Caribbean Culture Association of Arizona in collaboration with the Ocho Rios Jerk Spot and Big Dreamz. It will feature several cultural dance performances, including Josh David Barrett.

The spots for the vendors are open now, and the organisers are looking ahead for them to come and fill the sports as early as possible. They have also assured that all sponsorships and donations to the nonprofit Cultural Department will receive tax receipts and are 100% tax deductible.

The 2nd Annual Jamaican Jerk will also bring many opportunities for the volunteers to participate in its organisation and showcase their unique creative and management skills.

The official poster of the 2nd Jamaican Jerk Festival was earlier on Sunday via all major social media platforms. The organisers have also invited the people to participate in this Festival and support the Event with their presence to honour the life of Jamaican Artists. Notably, Bob Marley is a legendary Jamaican musician and songwriter known for his music, comprised of fused elements of reggae, ska, and rocksteady. The artist is indeed known for his continuous contribution to his homeland, Jamaica's cultural heritage, with his versatile music. The artist departed to heaven on May 11, 1981, in Miami, Florida, United States. "Money Can't buy Happiness" were his last words to his son Ziggy

However, the upcoming One Love Movie will be a highly anticipated biopic of Bob Marley, which will be released worldwide on February 14, 2024. It is produced by Ziggy Marley, Rita Marley, Cedella Marley, Robert Tietel, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Tuff gong.

The One Love Movie is based on the life of reggae singer and songwriter Bob Marley, from his rise to fame until his death in the early 1980s.
