From delicious food from the islands to fun nostalgia-filled games, the Caribbean Street Food Festival yesterday at Riverside Common Park was the perfect culmination to the whirlwind of a month we had in Riverside with back-to-back weekend events!
On behalf of JamaicanEats Magazine and the Riverside BIA, thank you to all who came out and enjoyed the flavours of the Caribbean with us in the neighbourhood. We hope to see you again next year. In the meantime, grab a copy of JamaicanEats Magazine for delicious stories on Caribbean cuisine!
