Portland Jerk Festival 2026

The Portland Jerk Festival is a one-day celebration of Jamaica's signature jerk cooking style, held on Jamaica's lush northeast coast near Port Antonio, typically at or near Folly Estate. Jerk cook-offs, live reggae and dancehall performances and family-friendly games run through the day, with the aroma of pimento-smoked jerk chicken and pork filling the grounds. It draws both local families and visiting tourists. (Date shown is estimated from the event's typical annual timing — confirm with the organizer closer to the date.)
