A culturally rich celebration of 34 Caribbean Islands, the Chicago Caribbean JerkFest is a celebration of authentic Jamaican Jerk in its various forms. “JERK” is a traditional Jamaican art of cooking thoroughly seasoned meat, spiced with pepper and smoked on pimento sticks. Food plays a central role in family life and traditions in the Caribbean and the cuisine of the Caribbean is like a cultural patchwork quilt. This festival will give the people of Chicago the opportunity to share in this cultural experience.
The first of its kind Chicago Caribbean JerkFest is strategically planned to launch Caribbean American Heritage Month (June 2008), and its goal is to help promote the cultural diversity of Chicago’s Caribbean population and promote the Caribbean in the Chicago area through a Jerk Cook-Off Competition, Cultural Displays, Live Entertainment, Domino Tournament, and the Kidz Fun Zone.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Companies and organizations are invited to become sponsors of this signature Chicago Caribbean event. The Chicago Caribbean JerkFest will provide the opportunity to tap into Chicago’s Caribbean community: an affluent section of the population that maintains strong ties to the Caribbean region in addition to strong Caribbean brand loyalty.

The Chicago Caribbean JerkFest provides a natural tie in and the perfect atmosphere for companies to expand their customer base by marketing product and services to a receptive clientele.

In return for their support, sponsors will gain great publicity for their involvement with the festival. Interested parties should send all inquires to:[email protected]
