The 2007 Tour theme is “ETERNAL HOPE”. The diversity of the American community, (which includes fans of reggae, dance hall and world-beat music) has been very generous to the Festival mission statement. In 1991, the Festival began its now very popular tradition of asking the public for donations in lieu of admission during the first 2/3 hours each day, to benefit participating nonprofits. In 2007 the Tour’s charities will be those that benefit Victims of natural disasters both National and Local charities all 501(c)(3) organization.

“ETERNAL HOPE” the theme of the 2007 Legends Tour reflects not only the messages of Reggae and Worldbeat music and is the foundation for what the Festival has always stood for, and also what is needed in the world now. With so much strife, terrorism and conflict going on in the world today, people everywhere are searching for “ETERNIAL HOPE” in Peace, Love Unity in and all that they are involved in. There or very few vehicles that provide a chance to understand various different cultures, (such as the Annual Legends of Rasta Reggae Festival Tour) in today’s society. It is imperative that the Tour continues to stop in select Cities and to promote "ETERNAL HOPE". "It has been said that sooner or later we all will see, a change over everyone even he, and when that day does arrives there will be no Black, White, Brown, Yellow or Red, and all chances of discrimination will be dead as and because we all will have aged, and the true color of each human at that time will be the most Beautiful of colors, Beige.""
