Annual South Sacramento Black Food Festival honors cultural traditions and culinary delights for the 7th consecutive year
The Black Food Fest, now in its seventh year, is taking place today at Florin Square in South Sacramento. This event is more than just a food festival; it's a showcase of Black-owned small businesses and local talent.
Organised annually by a local collective of Black-owned businesses and community members, the Black Food Fest offers an opportunity for generational empowerment and inspiring young people to take pride in their roots.
Over 50 locally owned businesses from across the region are participating, showcasing mouthwatering dishes that reflect the rich culture of the Black community. From soulful music to family-friendly vibes, the festival is a seven-hour celebration of culture, cuisine, and community spirit.
Kayla Green, owner of Freckles Sweets & Treats, has participated in the Black Food Fest for four years. She finds the event a reminder of the rich culture that the Black community represents. Green, along with many others, sees the festival as a platform to empower children, with many participating alongside their parents.
Berry Accius, organiser and founder of Voice of the Youth, stated that the event was created to fill a missing element in the community. Accius believes events like this help break down barriers and promote diversity. He stated that the sharing of food during the festival speaks volumes about everyone's love for good food.
Francina McClure, an attendee, stated that the festival shows children they can continue the legacy and empowers them. McClure, like many others, finds the festival to be a unique and valuable experience.
