A PARTY WITH A PURPOSE

“It was incredible, wouldn’t miss it for the world!”

“If you haven’t been here you owe it yourself to come and be a part of this community.”

“Absolutely loved it, loved the spirit and positive energy. Everyone just seemed happy and eager to have a great time. And all the vendors were Awesome, and Food off the chain! The Musical lineup was Stellar! It was truly an artist there for everyone to enjoy.”

“This is the one time that our people come out and celebrate as one. There is no other time in L.A. that we come together and celebrate as one other than sports or a funeral.”

“I’m proud that Crenshaw has the largest street fair in the city, and now one of the largest in the nation! Pasadena has the Rose Parade, Hollywood has the Christmas Parade, on the coast they have the Festival of Boats, and in our community, we have the Taste of Soul!”

Much like a street fair, folks come together from across our great city to the Crenshaw corridor and surrounding South L.A. neighborhoods. It’s a great way to connect our diverse communities through food provided by local restaurants and eateries, featured entertainment from popular entertainers and music artists, local talent, and an array of merchandise for sale at vendor booths.”

“Everyone there becomes family …magical.”
