Montego Bay Jerk and Food Festival brings holiday cheer to Salt Spring Primary and Infant School

The Montego Bay Jerk & Food Festival (MBJFF) continues to demonstrate its commitment to community development with an end of year Christmas treat for the Salt Spring Primary & Infant School in St James.

The event, held on Wednesday on the school compound, is the latest in a series of initiatives by MBJFF since officially adopting the school a few years ago.

As part of this year’s festivities, MBJFF donated two state-of-the-art smart TVs to the school, enhancing its learning environment and providing access to modern educational resources.

Over the years, the festival has hosted back-to-school treats, Christmas treats, awarded scholarships, and supported renovations to improve the school’s facilities.

This initiative has been made possible through the generous support of key partners Best Dressed Chicken, President Ice, and the MBJFF community. Their collaboration and dedication to this cause underscore the festival’s mission to give back to the communities that support its annual celebration.

“We are deeply grateful to our partners and the wider community for their unwavering support of the Montego Bay Jerk & Food Festival,” said John Lindo, festival promoter.

“Their contributions not only make our annual event a success but also enable us to carry out meaningful initiatives like this that positively impact the lives of children and families in Salt Spring.”

The MBJFF Christmas Treat is a testament to the festival’s dedication to fostering education and community spirit. As the festival continues to grow, its commitment to giving back remains steadfast.

“MBJFF extends heartfelt thanks to all supporters and looks forward to hosting the next Montego Bay Jerk & Food Festival on August 1, 2025,” the organiser noted.

“The Montego Bay Jerk Festival is an avenue which highlights one of the most important cuisine in the Jamaican Culture and is dedicated to providing quality entertainment to all.”
