Edmonton 
Events Description
This year’s festival brings bigger energy, more businesses, delicious food and an unforgettable waterfront experience in the heart of Edmonton.
From bold flavours and live performances to family-friendly experiences and cultural celebrations, this is where Edmonton comes alive.
- JJF Olympics: The JJF Olympics is a high-energy, family-friendly competition packed with relay races, team challenges and Afro-Caribbean-inspired games. With a live emcee and guest appearances, it’s all about teamwork and energy in motion.
- Food Wars: Food Wars is a friendly culinary competition featuring the boldest dishes from our vendors. A panel of local foodies, influencers and critics taste and judge the entries while the audience cheers them on.
- Fly Your Flag: Celebrate your heritage in the most vibrant way. Fly Your Flag invites attendees to rep their country of origin through social shoutouts and flag-filled picnic zones. It’s our way of spotlighting the African and Caribbean diaspora and the cultural pride that powers our community.
- The JJF Fashion Show isn’t just a runway, it’s a movement. We’re showcasing bold designers, fearless models, and creative visionaries from across the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. This is your platform to turn fabric into storytelling and fashion into legacy.
- KidsZone: Designed for children 6 months and up, the JJF KidsZone includes bouncy castles, face painting, crafts, and interactive play.
