5th Annual Celebration | Theme: " Rooted. Grown. Golden. "

Date: Saturday, September 19, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: TBD

We're celebrating 5 powerful years of culture, community, and resilience in North Carolina!

This year's theme, "Rooted. Grown. Golden," honors the journey that has brought us here. From extending the Sista Soul Fest family tree into North Carolina to building community, embracing abundance, and amplifying the Voices of Strength throughout our region, each year has represented a new chapter of growth. Together, those chapters have become a legacy.

Sista Soul Fest North Carolina 2026 celebrates the roots we've planted, the connections we've cultivated, and the community we've built together. We recognize the artists, entrepreneurs, creatives, leaders, healers, families, and visionaries who have helped shape this experience over the past five years.

Sista Soul Fest is a community-centered movement dedicated to celebrating culture, creativity, entrepreneurship, wellness, and connection. Each year, we continue to create an inclusive space where people from all backgrounds can come together to support, uplift, inspire, and empower one another.

Whether you are a business owner, artist, author, nonprofit organization, entertainer, creative, healer, or community leader, this is YOUR space to shine.
