This year, the Peter Tosh family estate will commemorate the 80th anniversary of his birth in a week-long celebration from October 13 – 19.  

“We plan to honour my father by officially marking this week as ‘Peter Tosh Week’ to annually celebrate the work and life of one of Jamaica’s preeminent artists. With the 80th being such a significant milestone,  the global buzz has been unbelievable. The calibre of artists eager to join in the festivities is phenomenal. Trust me, if you are a Tosh fan, this celebration is an absolute must!” exclaimed Niambe Tosh, executive of the Peter Tosh legacy and brand, and chairperson of his foundation.

Among the activities that are scheduled are: 

• Peter Tosh Foundation gala & fundraiser in association with the Peter Tosh Museum
• ‘Tosh Legacy Talks’ in association with the University of the West Indies 
• Youth Day at the Belmont Academy in Westmoreland 
• Memorial Garden grand re-opening, Westmoreland 
• Tosh Fest: An epic beach concert in his honour Bluefields, Westmoreland 

Tosh, a founding member of the Wailers alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, later established himself as a successful solo artist and a staunch advocate for Rastafari, equal rights, and anti-apartheid. His artistic contributions have left an indelible mark on music and culture worldwide.

The events are being coordinated by the Peter Tosh Foundation in conjunction with various private and public sector partners to celebrate the legacy.
