What To Expect
In addition to great music (Reggae, Bounce & Brass), food, and crafts, the Marley Gras Jerk Chicken Festival also features a scotch bonnet pepper eating competition and a jerk chicken cook-off competition with celebrity judges.
*** All children tickets are $5 and can be purchased in cash at the gate. ***
Mardi Gras + Jamaica = Marley Gras
New Orleans and Jamaican culture are so intertwined that it’s only fitting that we have a festival that beautifully blends the two together. Marley Gras celebrates both in a way that only New Orleans can, seamlessly blending Reggae with Brass and Bounce, Jerk chicken with Ya-ka-mein and gumbo, and handmade arts and crafts from New Orleans and Jamaica.
