JerkFest celebrates Caribbean flavours in Toronto this August

If you haven’t had your fill of BBQ yet this summer, then head to Toronto’s JerkFest to get your fix.

The three-day festival focused on Caribbean flavours takes place at Centennial Park in August and promises a weekend of feasting, cook-offs, chef demos, live workshops, and hot & spicy Jerk eating competitions.

Now in its 16th year, the festival set to a Reggae soundtrack is billing performances by Brian McKnight, The Pinchers, Freddie Jackson and Maxi Priest among the headliners, plus a drop-a-six domino challenge, VIP garden, and more.

Sounds like a fantastic way to spend a weekend.
