About One Love Caribbean Music Fest

One People. One Culture. One Love.

The One Love Caribbean Music Fest is more than just an event—it’s a vibrant cultural celebration that brings the spirit, soul, and sound of the Caribbean to the heart of Newark, New Jersey. Founded with a mission to unite communities through music, food, art, and tradition, the festival is a high-energy, family-friendly experience that welcomes everyone to join in the rhythm of One Love.

Our Story

What started as a vision to create a space where Caribbean heritage could shine has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated summer festivals. Since our first celebration, we’ve brought together thousands of music lovers, foodies, families, and culture enthusiasts from across the tri-state area and beyond.

Each year, Legends Event Production, in partnership with the City of Newark, the Newark Parks Foundation, and Brothers Building a Better Nation, curates a powerful lineup of Caribbean artists, DJs, and performers to share the magic of reggae, soca, konpa, dancehall, and more.

Our Mission

To celebrate Caribbean culture while promoting community unity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and family engagement through inclusive, educational, and entertaining experiences.
