23rd Annual Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival Fires Up Miramar

South Florida's biggest tribute to Jamaican jerk cooking returns to Miramar Regional Park on November 8, 2026, when the Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival marks its 23rd year of smoky, spiced jerk chicken, pork, and seafood.

Jerk Cuisine Takes Center Stage

Top jerk vendors from across South Florida set up throughout the park, serving the full range of jerk cooking — chicken, pork, and seafood — alongside other Jamaican and Caribbean staples. It's a rare chance to sample multiple pitmasters' takes on jerk seasoning side by side in one afternoon.

Music, Culture, and Community

Beyond the food, the festival features live reggae and dancehall performances that keep the energy high throughout the day, plus a marketplace of artisan vendors showcasing Caribbean goods and crafts. It's as much a celebration of Jamaican culture as it is of the cuisine.
