The home of and
Exploring the best of Caribbean culture Started by Full-A-Vybez, Inc.
in 2003, the Palm Beach & Orlando, the Florida Jerk Festival, became the mecca of Caribbean food and culture. Both festivals feature Florida’s top Caribbean restaurants and chefs offering a variety of culinary delights through cooking competitions and our “Jerk Experience”. But it’s not just about the food. Patrons get a healthy serving of history, culture, and entertainment on the cultural stage.
As a family event, we also ensure that kids are kept entertained at the Kid’s Zone, with a bounce house, carnival rides, and activities like face painting and mechanical bull riding. The events culminate with guest performers that cater to the diverse audience that attend the events each year. Attendees are in store for a large variety of food vendors, live music, dance, and fun activities — this is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy the culture.
