More Than 20,000 Celebrate Reggae Therapy Festival in Martinique
Martinique’s fourth annual Reggae Therapy Festival concluded July 12 after two days of live performances that brought over 20,000 reggae fans from Martinique, the wider Caribbean, Europe and North America to Louis-Achille Stadium in Fort-de-France.
The festival featured an impressive lineup of local, regional and international reggae artists, including Julian Marley, Barrington Levy, Alborosie, Tarrus Riley, Papa Tank, Skanky, Loy Sonjah, Lieutenant and Reemah. Julian Marley’s first performance in Martinique was among the highlights of the event, which celebrated reggae’s global influence while showcasing the island’s vibrant cultural identity.

Their commitment has helped elevate the festival year after year, creating a platform that brings together internationally recognized artists, local talent and audiences from around the world.
Beyond the performances, the festival highlights the power of music to bring people together through shared experiences. The continued success of the festival reinforces Martinique’s ability to host impactful events that celebrate connection, creativity and Caribbean culture.
