Bob Marley Tribute Supports Local Feeding Program

Music, culture, and community come together this weekend in Belize City as a familiar tradition returns. Philanthropist Joel “Dara” Robinson is once again using the spirit of Bob Marley’s music to give back, hosting the twenty‑second annual Marley tribute concert in support of Dara’s Feeding Program. The event not only honors the reggae icon’s legacy but helps provide daily hot meals for vulnerable schoolchildren, and this year, one lucky attendee could even ride away on a brand‑new scooter. The celebration takes place Sunday at the Belize Airport Authority grounds, where giving back remains center stage.
