The festival’s Family of the Year honors will go to Andrew Morris of Sam’s Caribbean Marketplace and Glamor Wayne, a legendary New York DJ, celebrating their impact on their communities. Additionally, a group of promoters and selectors will be recognized for their contributions to the local Caribbean music and nightlife scene, including Dale “Irie Dale” Stewart, Big Tony TC, Desmond “Desu” McKoy, Errol Brown of Mingles Cafe, Sherman Bell of Moments Cafe, and Junior Rocatune.
