Presented by Air Jamaica and produced by Jones & Jones Productions Ltd., JAMBANA™ is now one of the largest 'Fun For The Family' events on Ontario's summer calendar.

This year's all-star line up includes performances by internationally acclaimed reggae bands and JUNO award winners alike. The Caribbean music icon, Byron Lee's Dragonaires bring their classic mix of reggae and soca, while Admiral Bailey adds an 80's dancehall flavour to complement today's rising crooners like JUNO nominee, Steele.

Accompanying the rhythms of Jazz, Gospel, Reggae and Soca, Dance troupes like the Baby Boyz and hilarious comedians Trixx and Sabu Grant provide the very best in entertainment.

With so many styles and sounds coming from the main stage throughout the day, the 2010 edition of the JAMBANA™ festival is sure to be a phenomenal event!
