What Items You Need for the Perfect JerkFest Experience
Good jerk, good music and good vibes is the anthem of the TD JerkFest experience. Every year TD JerkFest offers its attendees an opportunity to embark on an enticing adventure of pure Caribbean bliss. However, before jumping into this flavour-filled weekend, there are a few JerkFest essentials you may need to help make this the perfect experience.
Cash
There’s nothing more disappointing than finally placing an order for that smokey hot jerk dish you’d been craving then to learn that transactions are cash only! While payment options may vary across vendors, carrying cash promises a sure sale. You can seamlessly seize opportunities to donate or support vendors whether it be at the various food tents, cash bars or art stalls. No matter the purchase, be it product or service, at festivals such as these, cash is key.
Picnic Chairs & Blankets
Walking, standing, eating and dancing, JerkFest is a whole day affair with lively vibes running high speed into the nighttime. Picnic blankets and chairs are essential items especially for those staying for an extended period. Amidst the energetic buzz, setting up a relaxing picnic spot allows you to rejuvenate yourself all the while soaking in the day’s activities and performances.
Sun Protection
Plan for being in the sun! From broad-spectrum sunscreen to umbrellas and wide-brimmed hats, packing some form of sun-protective gear is a must. Sun rays are known to be their strongest between 10am and 4pm hence protecting your skin is of utmost importance when attending TD JerkFest.
Coolers/Water
With so many intriguing flavours of drinks to try, water can easily become an afterthought. However, staying hydrated is a pro tip for the enjoyment of a summertime, outdoor activity like TD JerkFest. Not to mention those taste buds that will be dancing to the bold spiciness of delicious jerk cuisine all day long. Packing a cooler of ice or your refillable water bottle will help you maintain healthy digestion and keep yourself refreshed.
Hearty Appetite
TD JerkFest is the food festival where superb culinary creativity meets Caribbean flair. This year’s vendors await you with sizzling grills and tantalizing aromas. Menus range from jerk chicken to jerk shrimp, jerk vegetarian, and vegan options! Bring your insatiable appetite and come prepared to indulge and savour every bite of delectable pleasure. The best part of it all is that you get to relive these savoury moments the entire evening!
