Now in its seventh year, the Atlanta Caribbean Jerk Festival offers Atlantans the best in Caribbean culture and cuisine, including jerk preparation demonstrations, reggae and calypso music from Half Pint, New Kingston, and others, as well as a vendor market. This event is fit for the entire family, so expect a kid zone with games and prizes for the little ones. But the main draw may be the annual Top Jerk Chef Cook-Off, which pits established and aspiring chefs against each other to compete for cash, trophies, and bragging rights.
