There’s no turquoise ocean, pristine beaches, or flowing coral reefs. But you can get an authentic taste of the islands at the Caribbean Food Expo. Feast on conch fritters, jerk chicken, and pepper pot stew? Enjoy traditional cuisine from the Caribbean Islands, and groove to the easy rhythms of Island Vybes DJs. Experience the island pleasures locally at Chalmers Park, with activities for the entire family. Register for free tickets, at noon. Chalmers Park, 2800 N. 29th St. (29th Street and Chalmers Avenue).
