Culture. Flavor. Rhythm.
The Taste of the Caribbean and Jerk Festival is more than a festival - it’s a full experience.
Live performances, authentic cuisine, and a crowd that comes ready to celebrate.
We’re building this year’s vendor lineup now and looking for those vendors who want to be part of something special.
If your food, products, or brand bring the island vibes… we want you there.
August 1 | Mortensen Riverfront Plaza
1 PM - 9 PM
Vendor applications are open: https://riverfront.org/vendors2026/
