The 3rd annual Jerk Festival London takes over the Covent Garden Market Square this weekend.
With about 25 vendors on hand, jerk chicken, Jamaican patties and fried bread will be fused with reggae music and artisan crafts this Saturday and Sunday.
'The whole vibe is to bring a piece of Jamaica that you can experience while in London,' says Demond Allen one of the organizers of Jerk Festival London.
The music is a big part of the two day event.
'We have London's top Reggae DJ who will be there, as well as one of Toronto's best DJ's who will be performing on Sunday,' says Allen.
Admission to the festival is free and things get underway on Saturday afternoon.
Allen urges people to get into the vibe saying, 'Jamaica's culture is all over the world and we want to bring that to the community here.'
