The Calgary International Reggae Festival is an annual event in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that is organized by the Calgary Reggae Festival Society.
Featuring a mixture of local and international reggae acts, the festival has taken place every year since 2004.[1] Starting as a one-day event, by 2008 it had expanded to a ten-day festival.[1] The festival was co-founded by Leo Cripps, the host of CJSW-FM's Caribbean Link-Up show, and from an early stage it was sponsored by radio station Vibe 98.5.[2]
The 2014 event was headlined by Third World.[3]
This festival went on hiatus in 2020 & will return in 2021.
