bess100fm

Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, calls on Jamaicans to show up and support the events and activities planned to commemorate Reggae Month 2025 in February.


Speaking in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, Grange noted that the recognition of this indigenous Jamaican music form is valuable locally and internationally, therefore all efforts must be made to support the celebration of our national treasure.


The Culture, Health, Arts, Sports and Education Fund (CHASE Fund) is this year’s major sponsor of Reggae Month, with Jamaican power brand J Wray and Nephew Limited returning as title sponsor.

Patrons can expect a full suite of events planned by the secretariat at the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC), the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA), as well as the endorsed events being staged by several independent promoters.


A full slate of events have been planned to celebrate Wray and Nephew Reggae Month 2025 including the popular Bob Marley Tribute Concert which will take place on February 6, at Emancipation Park.

‘Concerns have been raised over the years regarding the concentration of Reggae Month events within the Corporate Area. My Ministry recognizes these concerns and has made continuous efforts — achieving some success — to address this imbalance. This year, we continue to build on our partnership in the West, particularly in Negril, with events such as the Wavz One Love Music and Jerk Fest, scheduled for February 7–9, as well as the Love at Woodstock event also in Negril on Valentine’s Day, February 14, which will feature the reggae ambassadors Third World. These events will provide both locals and tourists with the opportunity to enjoy live reggae music every day,’ Minister Grange declared in the lower house.
