Ackee was first brought over to the Caribbean from Africa during the 18th century, and is traditionally served with salt fish. Ackee Fest inspires attendees to celebrate the fruit by using it in new ways.
Each year the festival hosts a competition challenging local chefs to present an innovative ackee dish to a panel of judges. This year chef Gene Campbell will return to defend his title as the reigning champion. The competition will be judged by 2015 Miss Caribbean Canada, Valarie Steele, President of Jamaican Diaspora-Canada Foundation, Francesco Serpe from sponsor TD Canada Trust and Christopher Jones from TTC’s ATU Local 113.
This year’s festival features live entertainment including; drummer Muhtadi Thomas, Little Mr. Philippines Canada, singer Edward Jones, folklore storyteller Letna Allen, singer Nana McLean, dance group Arch Angels Dance Academy as well as a Kid Zone with face painting, art classes, games, and story telling.
Attendees can also browse the marketplace where they can purchase vegan delights, books, Ras Stone’s Art, one of a kind pieces from local artisans, and more.
