Stand Together Against Racism’s (S.T.A.R) Soul-Fête Returns: Commemorating a Century of Black History Through Food, Music, and Culture

To mark the centenary celebration of Black History/Excellence Month, Stand Together Against Racism (S.T.A.R.) proudly announces its annual Soul-Fête: A Culinary Immersion — an evening dedicated to celebrating the artistry, resilience, and influence of Black culture through cuisine and music.

This year’s Soul-Fête, now in its fourth year, invites guests to journey through the evolution of Black foodways, from African roots to contemporary American innovation, through an unforgettable dining and cultural experience.

Headlining the evening is Executive Chef Eric Bryson, acclaimed owner of Miss Thelma’s, who will craft a soulful, forward-thinking menu that pays homage to ancestral culinary traditions while reimagining them for the modern table.

Adding to the evening’s rhythm and energy, The Misfits, a local favorite band known for their vibrant performances, will deliver live music that mirrors the event’s fusion of heritage and creativity. Attendees will also enjoy a bourbon tasting by Nineteen70Something, and a silent auction supporting STAR’s mission.
