It’s across the water from downtown Miami in Virginia Key, an 82-acre barrier island in the Biscayne Bay. You get there via the Rickenbacker Causeway.

GET DIRECTIONSFESTIVAL MAP23 YEARS OF FEEL GOOD MUSIC
The 9 Mile Music Festival is all about you and those we help.With every can of food you donate to the festival, together we can feed the homeless and others in need.This is the spirit of the 9 Mile Music Festival. It’s all about how together we can make a difference for those who are less fortunate. United we stand, divided we fall. That’s what we believe.This makes our reggae music festival more than just a concert. It’s about doing good and spreading love. That’s how it started, as a labor of love pioneered by Bob Marley’s mother, Cedella Marley Booker. It has been held annually in Miami, Florida for the past 22 years, from its days as the “Marley Fest” to “The Caribbean Music Festival.”The new name stems from the village of Nine Mile, Jamaica. It’s the birthplace of Bob Marley and lies at the heart of our family.With your help, the festival has collected more than three million canned goods since its start in 1993. We hope to increase this amount with the upcoming festival – and more to come. Four canned goods are required for entry to the festival, along with buying an admission ticket. The canned goods are distributed to shelters in Miami, a way for all of us to give back to the community.We want to thank you for your support and donations.Enjoy the festival, and may Jah bless you – and may the spirit of The Legend play a reggae beat in your hearts forever.Thanks!
