Stepping High is a melting pot of musical talent featuring authentic Rastafarian music, and reggae from Jamaica, the Caribbean, Africa and other parts of the world, for a unique, cultural and musical experience. While the festival features well-known artistes, it also gives exposure to the music of young, and sometimes less known talent.
EDUCATION

How do we create harmony among the various cultures, races and beliefs systems? Stepping High is more than a ganja festival and musical extravaganza, it seeks to create a place, where the Rastafarian culture as well as those of other nationalities can come together in harmony, "inity" and love.
