Safety Concerns

“The health and safety of the community is our top priority”, stated Abdul Muhsin, Chairman of the Festival’s Board of Directors. “Current conditions are not conducive for us to deliver a safe and pleasant patron experience. Especially one that meets our quality standards with confidence. As a good corporate citizen we could not, in fair conscience, stage the event and place the health of our patrons, staff and sponsors at risk.”

20th Anniversary Celebration

Alternately, for 2021, the management team is currently looking into hosting small-scale events that capture the spirit of the Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

Updates will be provided through the media as well as on the festival’s website (www.jerkfestival.com) and social media channels, as they become available.
