2025 Supernova International Ska Festival

The Supernova International Ska Festival is the largest festival dedicated to ska music in the United States. The festival started in 2014 and prides itself on mixing legendary artists with ska bands from all eras. 

Tim and April Receveur fell in love with ska music in the 90s while living in Japan. They started The Supernova Ska Festival in Northern VA. And after moving to Hampton, VA, they brought the festival with them. Now it has grown into a three-day event at Fort Monroe, showcasing ska and reggae musicians worldwide.
