Step into paradise at the 10th annual Clermont Caribbean Jerk Festival on Saturday, June 3, from 12 to 9 p.m. presented by the Caribbean American Association of Lake County (CAALC). The free family-friendly cultural event at Clermont’s Waterfront Park (330 3rd Street, Clermont, FL 34711) supports the Lake Steel Orchestra and raises funds for scholarships given to Lake County high school seniors.
The event will feature everything Caribbean, from jerk-style chicken and pork, tropical drinks, and island treats to live music that will make you feel like you’re in the islands. Our live bands will play reggae, calypso, chutney, salsa, merengue, and rhythms of the islands that will have you dancing along. You can also catch the rhythm of the steel drums from the Lake Steel Orchestra throughout the event.
Other activities throughout the event include a limbo contest, dance lessons, domino games and kid’s zone. The event will also feature an alluring Island Flag Parade showcasing many Caribbean countries and their culture.
