Join Us for the 32nd Annual Taste of Soul Juneteenth Celebration

On Friday, June 19th, from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM, we invite the community to come together for the 32nd Annual Taste of Soul Juneteenth Event as we celebrate freedom, heritage, culture, and community.

This year's gathering will also honor the vision and dedication of the founders whose leadership helped establish this cherished tradition:

✨ The Late Helen Hughey
✨ The Late Sheila Washington
✨ The Late Diane Short
✨ Sheilda Braddock

As we commemorate Juneteenth and reflect on its enduring significance, we pay tribute to these remarkable women whose legacy continues to inspire and guide us.

Come enjoy great food, fellowship, and celebration as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future.
