The fourth annual Soul of Cville Festival is a celebration of Black excellence across disciplines. Dance? You know it. Fashion show? For sure. DJ sets? Yup. Live music? Hell yeah. Beyond the performances, dozens of vendors and community partners will be on site. There’s awesome apparel, creative arts and crafts, meaningful mentorship, and a wide range of other products and services available for your discovery. Hungry? Sample sweet treats, soul food staples, and delicious Caribbean cuisine among other offerings. The family-friendly fest also provides free art-making opportunities, plus community access to Ix’s Looking Glass Immersive Art Experience.

Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
