Soul Fest is a two day family oriented event that features live musical performances by local Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Gospel and Hip Hop artists. Soul food prepared by local restaurants and caterers will be available for purchase, as well as handmade arts and crafts. It’s basically a festival like atmosphere-no presentations. Folks are going to be walking around, listening to music, visiting vendors, eating and enjoying the music. Attendance over the two-day weekend is 20,000.
Children will be able to enjoy hands on activities at the Kid's Cultural tent, and visitors of all ages can receive free wellness information from local health organizations. Soul Fest is always free with Zoo admission. Soul Fest began in 2003, recent Soul Fests have presented such talented artists as trumpeter extraordinaire Irvin Mayfield, gospel great Yolanda Adams, the Hot 8 and Rebirth Brass Bands and a number of uniquely New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian Big Chiefs.
