Jerk Festival Berlin – Caribbean Culture Fest Vol. II

The 2025 premiere established the festival as a culinary-cultural diaspora event with a clear Jamaican profile. The venue was Beach Neukölln; the program combined food, music, and cultural stalls in an all-day open-air format. The objective – to connect the Jamaican and Caribbean diaspora in Berlin while also inviting a broader Berlin audience to experience Caribbean culture – was openly communicated by the organizers.

With the success of the premiere, the organizers planned a sequel as "Vol. II" for 2026. The second edition conceptually builds on the insights from the first, with an expected 5000 visitors – a significantly expanded format compared to the premiere. Detailed set lists and exhibitors from the 2025 edition are no longer fully publicly archived.
