South Florida’s favorite Caribbean food and culture celebration is back — and it’s bringing the flavor, rhythm, and vibes that keep the community coming year after year.
The Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival returns for its 23rd staging on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at Miramar Regional Park, promising a daylong celebration of everything we love about island life — food, music, and family fun.
Presented by Publix and VP Records, the event will run from 1PM to 10PM and once again transform the park into a cultural playground filled with the irresistible aroma of jerk seasoning and the sounds of the Caribbean.
A Taste of Tradition
Foodies can look forward to a flavorful lineup of chefs and vendors serving up everything from authentic jerk chicken and pork to creative modern twists on Caribbean classics. The Publix Culinary Stage will feature celebrity chefs showing off their skills, while cultural presentations and a bustling Caribbean marketplace will highlight the region’s vibrant heritage.
Music, Culture, and Vibes
Live performances will span gospel, reggae, and dancehall, with an exciting artist lineup soon to be announced. Past years have seen legendary acts grace the stage — and organizers say this year’s show will raise the bar even higher.
“Each year, the Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival grows in excitement and energy, and this year we’re raising the bar even higher,” said Eddy Edwards, CEO of Jamaican Jerk Festival USA, Inc. “Our focus remains on delivering the authentic flavors of Jamaican jerk cuisine while enhancing the overall patron experience — from food to entertainment to family fun.”
VIP Experience
For those seeking a little extra luxury, the VIP Village offers an all-inclusive experience with premium cocktails, authentic Jamaican delicacies, reserved table seating, and unbeatable stage views.
A Festival with Heart
For over two decades, the Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival has done more than celebrate Caribbean cuisine — it has united families, generations, and cultures around a shared love of community. It’s not just a festival; it’s a Sunday tradition infused with island warmth and flavor.
