With origins 15 years ago as a small backyard party with 12 friends "competing" to see who makes the best soul food, the event has since grown to include a vast variety of food and entertainment. Proceeds benefit the Semper Fi Fund which provides financial assistance to wounded Marines and their families while they recover. This event is a great opportunity to get outside, socialize with the community, enjoy tons of food and beverages and give back to our troops. This year’s lineup includes some of San Diego’s most popular bars and restaurants including Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, Dash Burger, Hunter Steakhouse, Playa Grill & Margarita Bar, Coop’s Texas BBQ and so many more! Tickets for the event are $60.00 each and include 2 complementary drinks, 3 hours of unlimited food sampling, live music and a chance to interact with your community! This is a 21+ event and an exciting replacement to a routine night on the town. If you are looking to dance the night away with live Old School music and a beer in hand, this is the event for you! This year’s headliner is Bernard Jackson and Surface, plus another surprise performance that you won’t want to miss! If that’s not exciting enough, we are also proud to announce Equinox Laser Tag and Total Combat who will be providing fun and interactive battles. If that’s not your idea of fun, how about a watermelon eating contest or opportunity drawing? The Soul Food Festival provides a wide range of food and entertainment to cater to each of our guests.
