Brooklyn's Caribbean Festival Guide

On a warm summer evening in Brooklyn, the sound of reggae music and the smell of jerk seasoning fill the air, signaling the start of the annual Caribbean Festival. As a first-timer, navigating the vibrant streets of Brooklyn can be overwhelming, but with Sorrel City as your guide, you will be sipping on sweet sorrel and dancing to the rhythm in no time.

Getting Started

To begin, start by exploring the various food vendors, featuring traditional Caribbean dishes such as curry goat and fried dumplings. Be sure to stop by the Sorrel City booth, where you can sample our hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel, made with hibiscus and a touch of spice. With optional rum, wine, or sugar, our sorrel is the perfect drink to enjoy while taking in the sights and sounds of the festival.

As you make your way through the crowds, take note of the unique flavor notes in our sorrel, with a ratio of 3 parts hibiscus to 1 part ginger, giving it a distinct taste that is both refreshing and invigorating. If you are interested in trying some, you can start an order and have it delivered right to your doorstep, or visit our home to learn more about our products and mission.

Insider Tips

• Avoid the crowds by arriving early, around 10 am, when the festival first opens.
• Bring cash, as not all vendors accept credit or debit cards.
• Do not miss the live music performances, featuring some of the best Caribbean artists in the city.

As the day comes to a close, and the sun sets over the Brooklyn skyline, the Caribbean Festival is the perfect place to experience the vibrant culture and community that Sorrel City is proud to be a part of. With our sweet sorrel and commitment to using only the finest ingredients, we are dedicated to bringing a taste of Jamaica to the heart of New York City, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
