Yes. Lord Jagannath is a form of Sri Krishna (Vishnu), worshipped at the Puri temple in Odisha along with Balabhadra and Subhadra. He is therefore worshipped with the Krishna and Vishnu mantras and the Hare Krishna Mahamantra.
Chant "Jai Jagannath" and the Hare Krishna Mahamantra, recite the Krishna Chalisa and Vishnu Sahasranama, and perform the "Om Jai Jagdish Hare" aarti. "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" is his mula mantra.
Rath Yatra, the great chariot festival, falls in the month of Ashadha (June–July), when Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are pulled in three huge chariots from the Puri temple to the Gundicha temple.
