A multigenerational, family-driven experience, Kaya Fest has become a powerful platform for connection—uniting fans from around the world through shared values, meaningful dialogue, and the spirit of one love. More than a music festival, it’s a cultural gathering rooted in legacy, purpose, and community.

In 2026, Kaya Fest returns with a highly anticipated edition in Toronto—marking a major cultural moment in Canada. Taking place on Saturday, August 22 at Markham Fairgrounds, Kaya Fest Toronto 2026 promises an unforgettable, all-ages celebration of music, culture, and community.

This year’s lineup is led by the Marley family, including Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Ky-Mani Marley, and Julian Marley, alongside legendary icon Shabba Ranks. The bill also features a dynamic mix of rising stars and next-generation voices, including Lila Iké and Jesse Royal, as well as the Marley legacy continuing through Bob Marley’s grandchildren—YG Marley, Yohan Marley, Shacia Päyne Marley, Mystic Marley, Hymn Marley, and Zion Marley; in addition to CuhDeeJah, Kc Clarke, and co-host Spex Da Boss.

Produced by Stephen Marley’s Fruit of Life Productions and presented by Wynn Records and Scorpion Music Group, in collaboration with Summer of Sound Festivals Inc., JoeBoy Entertainment, Silverback Music, and the Ghetto Youths Foundation, Kaya Fest Toronto invites fans to be part of a powerful celebration of music, culture, and unity.
