The first annual Chicago Caribbean JerkFest is set to takeoff on Saturday, June 7, 2008  from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Union Park, 1501 W. Randolph, Chicago, IL.
A culturally rich celebration of 34 Caribbean islands will treat you to a day of wholesome family fun in a beautiful atmosphere with a line up of authentic island sounds of reggae, roots, reggaeton, punta, and gospel, poetry, island skits and creative dances on stage, the pulsating sound of the steel band;  all that's complimented by a marketplace of Caribbean fashions, souvenirs, arts and craft, a "tings" Caribbean village,  a children's corner, and domino tournament.

Fragrant Aromas will surround the Cook-off  Plaza  as contestants prepare a variety of island cuisine-jerk chicken pork, and fish, to name a few, as they square off in the Jerk Cook-off competition. 

A family oriented festival - Come Out and Enjoy Good Vibes!
