“I’m proud that Crenshaw has the largest street fair in the city, and now one of the largest in the nation! Pasadena has the Rose Parade, Hollywood has tthe Christimas Parade, on the coast they have the Festival of Boats, and in our community, we have the Taste of Soul!”
Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Los Angeles City Councilmember

Much like a street fair, folks come together from across our great city to the Crenshaw corridor and surrounding South L.A. neighborhoods. It’s a great way to connect our diverse communities through food provided by local restaurants and eateries, featured entertainment from popular entertainers and music artists, local talent, and an array of merchandise for sale at vendor booths.”
Curren Price, Los Angeles City Councilmember

“This is the one time that our people come out and celebrate as one. There is no other time in L.A. that we come together and celebrate as one other than sports or a funeral."
DJ Mal-Ski, Musical Artist
