The inaugural Soul of Southside Arts and Humanities Festival runs May 20th<\/sup> \u2013 22nd<\/sup> in Tallahassee.<\/p>\n

Most of the events are happening at Lake Anita and the Anita Favors Thompson Plaza located at 116 W. Van Buren Street. For those who can\u2019t attend, many of the events will be live streamed.<\/p>\n

The free festival is hosted by the South City Foundation<\/a> thanks to funding from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The goal is to celebrate the rich and diverse history of Tallahassee\u2019s Southside.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve gone through COVID. We’ve gone through issues of violence. We’ve gone through a lot of different negative things, but we haven’t celebrated the good stuff. We haven’t celebrated the positive,\u201d says Christic Henry, community engagement and integration director for the South City Foundation and festival coordinator. \u201cWhat we wanted to do with the Soul of Southside Festival is to kind of start counterbalancing some of the some of the ugly stuff with the beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three-day event includes a youth entrepreneurship expo and pitch competition, and food truck and vendor expo opportunities. It culminates with a musical headliner act and light show that honor neighborhood trailblazers and community icons.<\/p>\n

Historical tours of ten Southside neighborhoods are being offered Saturday. Tours can be self-guided, or transportation is provided through Elder Care Services and Leon County Public Schools. Tours begin at Happy Motoring on S. Adams St.<\/p>\n

Entertainers include The Hamiltones, Glenn Jones, Adrian Crutchfield, Mama Blue, Tallahassee Nights Live, and Royce Lovett.<\/p>\n
