Had a great time. Good bands, venders, and food trucks. It was great if you remembered lawn chairs. At my age 69, I cannot do the sitting on the ground. A few benches would have been nice. Since we had motel rooms we did not have to use the facilities there.

Food was great. Music was great. Food was overpriced in my opinion. 6 chicken, rice and Peas 2 paties, and 2 conch salad was $230. A can redstripe rum punck was $12. Automatic $16.50 gratuity on $65 worth of drinks. $8 frozen lemonade. We left after an hour. The parking was not bad at $10. Admission was $40. Payment was either cash or zelle every where we purchased from. If you didn't have cash or access to it you would have been out of luck.

My first time and it will definitely not be my last! Everything was amazing. The vibe, the people, the culture, the energy and the food. Parking wasn't bad and the prices for everything inside was very reasonable. I can't wait for next year!

I’ve been going to the Grace Jamaican Jerk festival for at least 15 years now and this was the most disappointing. I paid for a VIP ticket and it was not worth the money. VIP parking was further than general admission. All VIP ticket holders were entitled to a welcome bag which I did not receive. When I asked about it I was told they ran out. Why were they not prepared for the amount of guest who purchased VIP tickets? The “Sunday Dinner” they advertised took a 30 min wait in line to receive. Finally, when served, we were only allowed one small
chunk of pork two shrimp and half of a chicken wing. For someone who has stood behind the festival for 15+ years, this is totally unacceptable.

The miramar jerk festival VIP was disorganized. The run out of food and not worth the $175. It rained and there was no plans for that, it's Florida for Christ sake! The food outside the VIP was better although pricey. Never again, it was 10 of us and experience was horrible.

Poor Organization and timing... the lines for food and drinks were every long... the dj kept repeating music and singing along with the music as if he was at a karaoke bar making it difficult to enjoy his selections. it was overall not good. The artist line up and the entertainers could not keep the crowd engaged aka no vybes.. except the ding dong performance he is a very good entertainer and has a gift at keeping his audience engaged... parking and entrance was good those lines were organized and moved relatively quick. Morgan heritage did not come on stage until 10 mins before closing but did continue singing as people were walking out so the legendary bands performance was not fully appreciated this couldve all been avoided if it was done in a more organized and timely fashion ESPECIALLY since this is a community event that start at 1 pm and ends at 10 pm on a sunday and kids parents and most attendees had work in the am. I was most upset about not being able to fully appreciate morgan heritages performance and for the inflated cost of 50 bucks per ticket, i had a 10 doller experience. I hope that grace improves in the coming years
