The Soul Food Festival is an inviting event that highlights the aroma of traditional soul food cooking in the air while bringing together families and friends in an outdoor social setting for a day of reunion, information and live national award winning entertainment. The purpose of the festival is to create platforms from which the general public can come and retrieve life changing knowledge as it relates to Health & Wellness, Technology, Family Intervention, Financial Literacy, Professional Career Building and Workforce development.
The festival provides complimentary vending space to those professionals who have an interest in providing complimentary service and or information in any of the above mention categories. The Festival also provides complimentary tickets to various community resource agencies with particular focus on battered women.
The method of promoting the Soul Food Festival is to present National Award Winning Entertainment at low ticket pricing in order to reach the capacity of the facility which in turn guarantees an audience from which we can introduce empowering information. With expenses in excess of $200,000 per event, the success of The Soul Food Festival has always been contingent on Sponsors, Media Partners, Donations and the authorization to sell concessions. Such participation brings the festival closer to their goal of breaking even, while educating the community.
