JAMBANA™ One World Festival has grown out of years of world-class concerts, theatrical productions, and festivals. It is produced by Jones & Jones Productions Ltd., founded by Denise Jones & Allan Bucka Jones in 1987. The first was the all-night Reggae On Yah in 1987 at The Great Hall on Queen Street West, downtown Toronto.
Today, JAMBANA™ One World Festival has evolved tremendously as it represents Canada’s growing cultural diversity in its finest form, representing Canada’s multicultural communities through performances by internationally acclaimed bands, artists, and JUNO Award winners. Feel the rhythms and experience the sights, sounds, tastes, and global diversity at JAMBANA™.
