The Festival is a celebration of authentic Jamaican Jerk tradition in
its various forms, and includes Jerk Cook-Off, Cultural Displays, Live
Entertainment, Domino, Cricket & Netball Competitions and a Children's
Fun Zone.The flavour of the Jamaican Jerk Festival is a mix of old-
time fair, garden party and contemporary concert. There are a large
number of vendors selling a variety of Jerk foods in their many forms;
everyone has their own secret ingredients. Pork and chicken are the
chief Jerk offerings, and are the favourite of many, but Jerk foods
range from the "different" such as Jerk Fish, Jerk Shrimp and Jerk
Yam, to the downright innovative and unusual, such as Jerk Ice Cream.

Exhibit:
NEW - MARCUS GARVEY PHOTO & ART EXHIBITION
The life and times of Jamaican National Hero Marcus Garvey are
featured in a unique photo and art exhibition, which is now on display
at
The Marcus Garvey Photo and Art Exhibition was compiled and produced
by the Rootz Foundation Inc. as part of its on-going cultural
enrichment and public education program, and will be on display at the
South Regional BCC library all month long during August. The exhibit
can be viewed by the public seven days a week during the library's
regularly scheduled opening hours: Mon - Thurss, 7.30am - 9.30pm;
Fridays, 7.30am - 4pm; Sat, 9am - 5pm; and Sun 1pm - 5pm.
The display of a wide variety of photographs, pictures, posters,
artwork, articles and selected quotes, includes a Marcus Garvey
timeline chart and a bibliography with a listing of a number of books
by and about the Jamaican-born Pan-African Hero.
The artwork on display was contributed by veteran Garveyite and
accomplished artist/art teacher, Charles Mills; and also by the
acclaimed master of the Black Art Nouveaux genre, Elgo, whose
illustrations can be found in the book A Rastafari View of Marcus
Mosiah Garvey by multimedia journalist I. Jabulani Tafari.
The photo & art exhibit opened on August 1st, 2007, in tribute to the
founding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association -the UNIA- by
Marcus Garvey ninety-three years ago on August 1st, 1914. As well as
to commemorate the anniversary of Emancipation Day, August 1st, 1834,
the day when Africans enslaved in the so-called British West Indies
were set free by Queen Victoria.
The month-long Garvey exhibition at the South Regional BCC library
will be highlighted by the annual Marcus Garvey Birthday Extravaganza
on Friday, August 17th, 2007, starting at 6pm. (see Aug 17)
