Soul Fest

Soul Fest

Over 20,000 visitors are set to converge upon the Audubon Zoo for the 9th annual Soul Fest. Soul Fest is quickly becoming one of New Orleans biggest celebrations of African American history. The two day family oriented event features live musical performances by local  Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, and Gospel artists at our Capital One Stage. The festival will be highlighted by an African American First tribute. A distinguished list of Black History makers are set to be honored as African American Firsts including, Natalie Robottom, D. Mjeeda Snead, South Coast Paper, the Original Illinois Club and the Buffalo Soldiers' 9th Calvary. 

Visitors will enjoy authentic soul food prepared by local restaurants and caterers, and in addition to our exciting collection of exotic animals, kids will enjoy hands on activities at the Kid's Cultural tent. Visitors of all ages can receive free wellness information from local health organizations.

Soul Fest is presented by WellCare. Soul Fest Entertainment Sponsor and African American First Sponsor is Walmart. Soul Fest Contributing sponsors are The Bardell Company, Coaxum Enterprises, Inc. Amerigroup Louisiana and the Home Depot.

Over 20,000 visitors are set to converge upon the Audubon Zoo for the 9th annual Soul Fest. Soul Fest is quickly becoming one of New Orleans biggest celebrations of African American history. The two day family oriented event features live musical performances by local  Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, and Gospel artists at our Capital One Stage. The festival will be highlighted by an African American First tribute. A distinguished list of Black History makers are set to be honored as African American Firsts including, Natalie Robottom, D. Mjeeda Snead, South Coast Paper, the Original Illinois Club and the Buffalo Soldiers' 9th Calvary. 

Visitors will enjoy authentic soul food prepared by local restaurants and caterers, and in addition to our exciting collection of exotic animals, kids will enjoy hands on activities at the Kid's Cultural tent. Visitors of all ages can receive free wellness information from local health organizations.

Soul Fest is presented by WellCare. Soul Fest Entertainment Sponsor and African American First Sponsor is Walmart. Soul Fest Contributing sponsors are The Bardell Company, Coaxum Enterprises, Inc. Amerigroup Louisiana and the Home Depot.

Over 20,000 visitors are set to converge upon the Audubon Zoo for the 9th annual Soul Fest. Soul Fest is quickly becoming one of New Orleans biggest celebrations of African American history. The two day family oriented event features live musical performances by local  Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, and Gospel artists at our Capital One Stage.

Visitors will enjoy authentic soul food prepared by local restaurants and caterers, and in addition to our exciting collection of exotic animals, kids will enjoy hands on activities at the Kid's Cultural tent. Visitors of all ages can receive free wellness information from local health organizations.

Over 20,000 visitors are set to converge upon the Audubon Zoo for the 9th annual Soul Fest. Soul Fest is quickly becoming one of New Orleans biggest celebrations of African American history. The two day family oriented event features live musical performances by local  Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, and Gospel artists at our Capital One Stage. The festival will be highlighted by an African American First tribute. A distinguished list of Black History makers are set to be honored as African American Firsts including, Natalie Robottom, D. Mjeeda Snead, South Coast Paper, the Original Illinois Club and the Buffalo Soldiers' 9th Calvary. 

Visitors will enjoy authentic soul food prepared by local restaurants and caterers, and in addition to our exciting collection of exotic animals, kids will enjoy hands on activities at the Kid's Cultural tent. Visitors of all ages can receive free wellness information from local health organizations.

Soul Fest is presented by WellCare. Soul Fest Entertainment Sponsor and African American First Sponsor is Walmart. Soul Fest Contributing sponsors are The Bardell Company, Coaxum Enterprises, Inc. Amerigroup Louisiana and the Home Depot.
