Food festivals are among my favourite kinds of festivals because there's no pressure to look cool and dance. You can just hang out and gorge yourself on some delicious food. Well, folks — here's one that's guaranteed to please. Due to the unfortunate cancellation of the Montreal Jerk Food Festival, festival organizers had to find a solution so that their highly-anticipated event could live on. Enter the Agora Châteauguay, a wonderful fairground that will host this year's edition of the Châteauguay Jerk Food Festival! The festival is absolutely FREE to attend! If you aren't familiar with jerk cooking, I highly recommend you try it as soon as possible! Native to Jamaica, jerk cuisine consists of meat and veggies that are dry-rubbed with a secret blend called jerk spice. Buckle up because jerk cooking is spicy!
