Dive In – Keep it Local at Boston JerkFest!
This year’s festival will include a “Dive In” marketing campaign to promote local seafood that is abundantly available and underutilized. The campaign was launched in 2018 and was made possible by a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries. Boston JerkFest food festival will feature Jerk-style Chef Demos, a Seafood Throwdown and Jerk Cook-off in collaboration with Northwest American Marine Alliance (NAMA), Red’s Best, and World Farmers. For these two activities, two chefs will battle it out to see who can concoct the best dish with a local-day boat seafood ingredient, jerk spice, and with produce grown in Massachusetts by immigrant farmers of World Farmers, Inc. and other urban farmers. Festival attendees will get a chance to taste and judge alongside a panel of Boston-based foodies. The Chef demos at Boston JerkFest are fun, educational and community driven activities that promote the traditional flavors of Caribbean cuisine using local food.
