The Ottawa Reggae Festival Inc. is a non-profit network that was launched in February 2007, to raise funds and awareness for the Sickle Cell disease and to highlight its effects on our community. What started as a fundraising initiative, has grown to become a flagship event that will unite Reggae fans across Canada and the United States, bringing them to Canada's capitol city - Ottawa. Reggae is the only genre of music known to bring people from all walks of life together.
