This festive event is a Juneteenth Culinary Celebration honoring Black Women: Community Artist Collective, local Chefs, Farmers, Product Makers, and Mixologists. Join us to explore the journey and foodways of ethnically significant ingredients from West Africa to Texas.

The culinary journey will be an edible one savored by cooking and cocktail demonstrations with guest tastings packaged in a brunch-style menu. Enjoy indoor and outdoor Exhibits of Culinary Art, African American Foodways, Visual and Performing Arts. Experience the Outdoor Market Featuring Black Female Entrepreneurs. Registered Guests receive culturally crafted "Swag Bags" with keepsake items, recipes, etc.

The event is ticketed for indoor participation; however, the outdoor market and exhibit will free appeal to the larger community. Proceeds of this event will benefit St. Charles Street Urban Community Garden, Community Kids Cook, and Cast Iron Skillet Culinaire, LLC organizations' educational program funds.
