This festival is rooted in Love, Ibis (Godfrey Pitts) who Bob's mother always said was Bob's only friend in Wilmington, met Bob around 1968, they became great friends for life.  , .  With his wife Genoveva (Genny) at the helm, they made realizing this Tribute to Bob Marley their mission.  With hundreds of dedicated Volunteers we have worked to produce a world class event  to foster and promote cultural diversity through music, art and educational programs that inspire Unity, One Love, Equal Rights and Justice as we were inspired to do by our beloved friend and brother, The Honorable Robert Nesta Marley, O.M. 

 It has been an honor to bring this event to our city.  In our 26 years, we have never cancelled or skipped this event! We welcome you for the 27th Annual Peoples Festival Tribute to Bob Marley,

"We Jah People CAN make it work!"  - B. Marley 

Unity, One Love, Equal rights & Justice!
