Bob Marley Birthday Bash

Music · February · Nine Mile

Rating: 4.7 / 5

Bob Marley was born on 6 February 1945 at Nine Mile in St Ann, and each February the anniversary is marked by concerts, ceremonies and pilgrimages to the key sites in his life — Nine Mile itself (where he is buried) and 56 Hope Road in Kingston (now the Bob Marley Museum). Events vary year to year but typically include performances by the Marley family and collaborators, and draw a mix of Jamaican fans and international reggae pilgrims.
