Glen Simmonds Events, Carib Event Partners, MCMG, with support from Business Concepts Consulting and Accounting and in association with the Atlanta Montego Bay Sister Cities Foundation and Island Gruve Music will present the 10th Annual Grace Atlanta Caribbean Jerk Festival and Family Fun Day on Sunday, September 6, 2015 (the day before Labor Day) from noon to 11 pm in DeKalb County, Georgia
The annual Jerkfest and Cook-off brings out Atlanta’s best jerk chefs to vie for the coveted title of Atlanta’s Top Jerk Chef. Throngs of folks from all over the metro Atlanta area and beyond also savor the opportunity to whet their jerk appetites and feed their souls with the sounds of sweet Caribbean music!
This year’s performers include “Caribbean Queen” Alison Hinds, Maxi Priest, “the Messenjah” Luciano, Chubb Rock and the always entertaining Professor Nuts. Mix Master David will keep the crowd moving on the ones and twos.
Atlanta’s highly anticipated Jerk Festival also offers arts, crafts, and a children and young people’s activity zone (last year there was even a gaming truck for those hard-to-please teenagers!). You can also purchase Caribbean produce such as coconuts, sugar cane and much more. If Caribbean games are your thing, there’s a game tent where you can indulge yourself in dominos and ludo.
Partial proceeds benefit the Atlanta Montego Bay Sister Cities Foundation and other charitable organizations.
