A parallel program that welcomes chefs, artisan producers, hospitality partners, and food lovers into a wider celebration of Jamaican food and culture, held alongside the Championship.
Chefs, artisan producers, and hospitality partners gather in a dedicated village on the championship campus, offering tastings, demonstrations, and direct access to the people behind Jamaica’s food culture.
A curated beverage program built around rum and rosé sits alongside live fire demonstrations on the Heritage Demo Kitchen stage, framed by Negril’s cliffside views.
Scale is kept deliberately small: 500 guests across the weekend, split between 80 VIP multi-day passes and 420 general admission tickets, so the experience never loses its intimacy.
The Jerk Experience runs in parallel with the closed, judged Championship on Saturday, December 5, so guests celebrate the culture while the competition determines who cooks best.
VIP Tickets go on sale August 10, 2026, and General Admission on August 20, 2026, both limited. See full pricing on the Tickets page and sign up to be notified the moment they open.
