On October 6, 2024, the Rastafari community will commemorate a historic milestone as major Rastafari Mansions and Organizations come together to celebrate the first anniversary of the Rastafari Mansions and Organizations (RMO) umbrella organization. This significant occasion marks a year since the RMO was established, guided by the mandate of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, who called on Ethiopians globally to unite and centralize for enduring influence and power.

The anniversary celebration will coincide with the fifth edition of RMO's signature event, Harambee Hall, taking place at the Louise Bennett Garden Theatre from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This gathering promises a rich cultural experience, featuring the distinctive drumming and chanting traditions of various mansions.
