The 9 Mile Music Festival began in 1993 as a musical testament by Cedella Marley Booker to the life and philosophy of her son, world renowned artist Bob Marley. Though the Festival has changed names several times over the last two decades, it remains inclusive and welcoming of all forms of music including Reggae, R&B , Urban, Latino and many other various sounds.
Through out the years we've provided over 3 million canned goods since the festivals inception. Distributing them to homeless shelters and domestic centers throughout Miami; feeding families in need for months. For 25 years, the concert has required canned goods in addition to the price of admission, and it always will.
“Together we can make a difference for those who are less fortunate. United we stand, divided we fall..”
Accessible from the mainland via the Rickenbacker Causeway, Virginia Key Beach is a beautiful mile long sandy strip that will be filled with music, culture, and food during the festival.
