| Bob Marley | The city's annual tribute to Bob Marley is this weekend on Wilmington's waterfront.
Organizer Genny Pitts says she met Marley back in the sixties, and the People's
Festival is all about paying tribute to Marley and reggae.
Marley's mother lived in Wilmington and owned a record shop at 24th and Market, and
though Marley called Jamaica his home, Pitts tells WDEL he has a rich history and strong
connection to Wilmington.  Audio Here
Pitts says the all-day reggae music festival kicks off at noon Saturday at
Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park with a very special ceremony. Audio Here
Tickets are available at the gate. Kids under 10 get in free.
