"At LEAF, we believe life is a journey," wrote performing arts director Ehren Cruz in a release. "Every day holds an opportunity to discover something new that has the power to transform and uplift the way we see the world. This fall LEAF, we invite one and all to embark on a voyage across the globe to experience music that will make your spirit soar.

The two main festival headliners are Jamaican reggae/ska group Toots and the Maytals and Los Angeles rock band Los Lobos.
