The Soul Food Festival reimagined as “Soulfull Festival” is a celebration of culture, connection, and community like no other. Rooted in our mission to break barriers for BIPOC-owned food businesses, this event creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to showcase their culinary talents while fostering economic growth. Beyond the food, the festival brings together the essence of joy with Neo Soul, R&B, Hip-Hop, Comedy, Poetry, Beatboxing, and Dance, transforming the space into a vibrant tapestry of creativity. It’s more than a festival—it’s a gathering of people from all walks of life, united through a love of food, music, and shared experiences. From tasting the rich flavors of soul food to dancing to live beats and connecting with others over foodie-inspired activities, the Soul Food Festival is where the community comes alive in celebration, support, and pure joy.
The Second Annual Soul Food Festival will take place outdoors, downtown Tacoma WA.
