MORE ABOUT JERKFEST TORONTO 2024

JerkFest is one of Toronto’s most prominent and must-attend summer festivals showcasing Caribbean cuisines, music, arts, culture, and excellent family entertainment. Guests should expect to experience the Caribbean tropical vibes right in Toronto.

Also, there will be interactive food demonstrations, giving guests an opportunity to engage with chefs, get their food questions answered,  and learn to recreate staple Caribbean dishes. A day before the epic 3-day celebration, JerkFest hosts its VIP Boat Cruise Meet N Greet boat cruise aboard the River Gambler, giving guests a unique opportunity to meet this year’s artists, groove to great music, enjoy food, and sip on favorite drinks from the cash bar.

Running for its 23rd season, JerkFest Toronto was born out of nostalgia. Its goal is to reminisce, connect, and create new memories of the islands in a new country outside those familiar tropical vibes. The event brings over 50,000 patrons to Toronto each year.
