The Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival will be held on Sunday, November 13th, and the event’s title sponsor, Grace Foods, will be pulling out all stops.
“Being the title sponsor, presents us with an opportunity to showcase our brand, introduce new products, interact with the festival goers and play a part in all the day’s entertainment and activities,” says Donna Callender, community outreach officer at Grace Foods (USA).
King of Jerk
Grace Foods is often referred to as the international king of jerk. “This title is fitting,” Callender notes. “We are the best tasting, authentic jerk available in several key international hubs around the world.” The role also makes the company the perfect match for the jerk festival, which is the largest Caribbean food festival in the United States.
Features of this year’s festival include an extensive food court offering a variety of jerk cuisine and other dishes. The Publix Culinary Pavilion, which features top chefs and celebrities in competition. There will also be the Western Union Cultural Stage, an arts and crafts village, and a party zone. Musical acts on the main stage will include Tarrus Riley, Christopher Martin, Romain Virgo, Mystic Marley and Baby Cham, to name a few.
Celebrating 100 Years
This year, Grace is celebrating its 100th year anniversary, and will make the event a special commemorative affair. “Expect an impressive presence throughout the festival. In our Grace Village there will be mouthwatering savory bites, primarily using our jerk line of products. Festival goers will have the opportunity to win prizes and gift boxes with Grace products and premiums,” Callender reveals.
According to festival CEO, Eddy Edwards, “With our title sponsor Grace Foods celebrating its 100th anniversary, our team will be pulling out all the stops to stage an exceptional event.”
The Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival merges food, music, and entertainment, and hosts over 15,000 attendees who embark on a cultural Caribbean experience like no other.
