If you've ever dreamed of mastering Caribbean cuisine, this is your moment.
Join us at Centennial Park on Saturday and Sunday, August 10th & 11th for live, flavour-packed cooking demos that will awaken your taste buds. Watch top chefs bring Caribbean classics to life right before your eyes, ask questions, learn their secrets, and get inspired to spice up your own meals at home.
The JerkFest Demonstration Tent is where food and culture collide, and best of all, it’s free with any admission ticket.
Don’t just taste the culture. Learn to cook it.
Fun for the Little Ones: Kids Zone!
Bring the whole family and let the little ones enjoy the fun too! The JerkFest Kids Zone is packed with exciting activities designed just for children. From face painting and carnival games to interactive play areas and cultural crafts, there’s something to keep every child entertained.
With supervised activities and a safe, welcoming space, parents can relax and enjoy the festival while the kids make memories of their own.
Whether they’re jumping in a bouncy castle or dancing to the rhythm of the islands, the Kids Zone is where smiles and laughter are guaranteed all weekend long.
Centennial Park
156 Centennial Park Road,
Etobicoke, ON M9C 5N3
Ride Share Info (Uber, Lyft, Taxi, Carpool):
To avoid traffic near the main festival entrance at 156 Centennial Park Road, we recommend all ride-share users (Uber, Lyft, taxi) set their drop-off and pick-up location to:
Hollycrest Middle School
630 Renforth Drive, Etobicoke
From there, it’s a short, clearly marked walk into Centennial Park.
This helps reduce congestion and ensures a smoother arrival and exit experience for everyone.
Note: Guests with accessibility needs may be dropped off closer to the main gate. Please display your accessible parking permit and follow instructions from traffic marshals.
