This year, the Tosh Family will commemorate the 80th anniversary of his birth in a weeklong celebration from October 13 – 19. The events are being coordinated by Peter Tosh Foundation in conjunction with various private and public sector partners.

“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 calibre of artists eager to join in the festivities is phenomenal,” shared Niambe Tosh, executive of the Peter Tosh Legacy & Brand and chairperson of his foundation.

Among the activities planned are a Peter Tosh Foundation Gala & Fund-raiser 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 in Westmoreland, and Tosh Fest – An Epic Beach Concert in his honor Bluefields, Westmoreland.

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