Reggae Sumfest was first held in Montego Bay, Jamaica in 1993, replacing Reggae Sunsplash. Reggae Sumfest is regarded as the world's greatest reggae music festival. The festival attracts millions from around the world each year and visitors come as far away as the African continent, Europe, Japan, Australia and the USA. Reggae Sumfest not only features reggae artists, but also jazz, hip hop, pop and rhythm and blues as well. The festival is usually held the 3rd week of July each year and is customarily kicked off on Sunday with a beach party at the Aquasol Theme Park located on the Walter Fletcher Beach Complex. There is an all-white party held on Tuesday followed by Dancehall Night on Thursday then International Nights on Friday and Saturday at the Catherine Hall Entertainment Complex. This year, Raggae Sumfest will be held July 13 - 19, 2014 and will include performers such as, Tessanne Chin (Season 5 winner of The Voice), Wiz Khalifa, Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Mr. Vegas and Jason Derulo.
