It is official ! The Chitown Jerk Festival  is now back on track for this June 8th, 2008 This Saturday June 7th,

The Chicago Caribbean JerkFest is a celebration of authentic Jamaican Jerk in its various forms. “JERK” is a traditional Jamaican art of cooking thoroughly seasoned meat, spiced with pepper and smoked on pimento sticks. Food plays a central role in family life and traditions in the Caribbean and the cuisine of the Caribbean is like a cultural patchwork quilt. This festival will give the people of Chicago the opportunity to share in this cultural experience.

The first of its kind Chicago Caribbean JerkFest is strategically planned to launch Caribbean American Heritage Month (June 2008), and its goal is to help promote the cultural diversity of Chicago’s Caribbean population and promote the Caribbean in the Chicago area through a Jerk Cook-Off Competition, Cultural Displays, Live Entertainment, Domino Tournament, and the Kidz Fun Zone.
