Soul food, music and shopping: It’s festival time again this weekend | Entertainment/Life

Where can you hear soul, contemporary Christian and blues music?

And sample crawfish pasta, organic sno-cones and chicken and waffles?

And shop for adult coloring books, sarongs and driftwood birdhouses?

This weekend, it’s the fifth annual Baton Rouge Soul Food Festival. And that’s just the start of the varied music, munchies and miscellaneous sundries available to festivalgoers Saturday and Sunday at Riverfront Plaza, 305 S. River Road downtown.

In addition, there’s a cooking contest, and an after-party at The 1-2-1 Club, 121 Convention St., starting at 9 p.m. Sunday. Kenny Neal and Henry Turner Jr. and the Listening Room All-stars are among the performers expected to attend.

The free, family-friendly fest will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days. VIP tickets, which include food, beverages, photo ops, covered seating and additional perks, are available at brsoulfoodfest.com or by calling (225) 802-9681.

“The Soul Festival is returning at an amazing rate,” said festival organizer and blues artist Turner. “All of our vendor spaces have sold out, so there’s lots for people to do and see. It’s sure to be a runaway hit.”

Dee Dickerson, of D’s Southern Soul Café in Plaquemine, is this year’s Pioneer Award honoree. The award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the soul food industry, will be presented at 6 p.m. Saturday. The café, founded in 2015, is known for its chitterlings and smothered liver. The café also provides free meals to youths as well as tutoring.

The soul food cooking contest winners for entrees and side dishes will be announced at 2:40 p.m. Saturday, while winners in the appetizer, dessert and drink categories will be revealed at 4 p.m. Sunday.
