The Boise Soul Food Festival’s mission is to celebrate and share the abundance of Black culture, food, and artistry in the Treasure Valley while building bridges for community connection and giving back to small businesses.

We believe that “it takes a village” to build a better future for our community! And through cooperative economics (ujamaa), celebrating all families (umoja), and encouraging curiosity, creativity, and expression in our youth (kuumba), we are dedicated to providing an inclusive cultural experience that continues to invest in our Boise community year round.
