About the event

The purpose of Sista Soul Fest is to create a space for women (especially women if color) to offer/sell and display their talents, gifts and businesses. It also allows women and young girls of all ages to come together as sisters to network, encourage, inspire and just show up for each other. Each year we accomplish this and so much more. Since 2020, every last Sunday in August, the women and young girls of our communities have joined together to celebrate not just our businesses but, to celebrate one another. SO WE CANT WAIT TO SHARE HOW EPIC THIS YEAR WILL BE!!!!!
